Less than a week after John Terry had seemingly played his last game for Chelsea, the news has emerged that the England international might not be leaving just yet.
Terry has already missed one of the final two games of the season after picking up his second red card of the campaign against Sunderland, and his contract is due to expire in the summer.
But the club have revealed the veteran has been offered a one-year extension to his deal, which the captain is mulling over.
It is announced in the press conference that John Terry has been offered a one-year contract extension. John is considering the offer. #CFC
