Will he be going?
Chelsea legend John Terry has been offered a substantial amount of money to end his career in Dubai.
The Blues captain is nearing the end of his career at Stamford Bridge.
He has made just 5 Premier League appearances this season for Antonio Conte’s side, who are sitting comfortably at the top of the table.
He has been offered a contract extension for another year, with the opportunity to complete coaching qualifications alongside any time on the pitch.
But former Chelsea cult hero Dan Petrescu, who now manages UAE club Al Nasr, said he wants to sign the England centre-back for next season.
Petrescu told the Gulf Times newspaper: “Where will John Terry end up next season? Al Nasr. Of course, why not? I will call him and ask.
“I wish he was here. He’s a very good friend and a good player. I don’t know what he will do, but I wish him well.
“It depends on Chelsea. If they really want him he will stay, I’m sure.
“I think he should still play on. As a central defender it shouldn’t be a problem and he is fit, so I’m sure he will play more.
“He was no good for me [back in 1998], but maybe [that was because] I was not yet a coach. Normally I have a good eye, and can say ‘this player can be big.’
“I was thinking he could be a good player, but not to the level he has reached.
“Maybe it was because we fought in our first training session. We had a very bad fight.
“I can’t take any credit for shaping his career. He made it himself, not me.
“I was part of a great team with him. All the team was good, not only me.”
