Serbian defender verbally agrees one-year extension
Branislav Ivanovic has agreed to a one-year extension at Chelsea Football Club, according to reports.
The Serbian was set to be made a free agent this year, with his contract expiring in June, but the club have acted on that and have now issued him a one-year extension, which he has reportedly signed.
Due to his age and the club policy, Ivanovic can only be offered one-year extensions at a time, but after a recent run of poor form, it was speculated that this would be his last season at Stamford Bridge.
Ivanovic Staying Put
However, it seems like that is not the case with the right-back agreeing to a further 12-months in West London.
The 31-year-old had been linked with a move abroad with the Bosman Rule coming into play, but it looks as though those reports have now been rubbished with a new deal being signed.
According to the reports, Ivanovic will officially sign the deal next month.
