Chelsea have confirmed they have "completely rejected" an offer from
Manchester City for their club captain and England skipper John Terry.
City also had an approach for the 28-year-old turned down in late 2008.
"It was made clear, for the second time, that we would not entertain any
conversation on the subject," read a statement on Chelsea's website.
The size of City's offer for Terry, who is under contract at Stamford Bridge
until 2012, was not revealed.
"We would like to make it clear, and we will not do so again, that John is
not for sale," added the club statement.
Terry has played 405 games in 12 years at Stamford Bridge, scoring 35 goals
in the process, with chief executive Peter Kenyon describing him as "part of
the heart and soul of Chelsea" when City last made a bid.
A product of Chelsea's youth academy, Terry has captained the club to two
Premier League titles, two FA Cup successes and two League Cup wins.
But success on the European stage has so far eluded Terry, although he came
within a successful penalty of lifting the Champions League trophy against
Manchester United in 2008.
Despite the fact that the signature of centre-back Terry looks likely to
elude them, Manchester City's billionaire owners the Abu Dhabi United Group
seem determined to spend in order to attract football's top names.
Since taking over at Eastlands the group have signalled their ambition, and
wealth, with a string of signings including the ￡32.5m capture of Brazilian
international Robinho from Real Madrid last August.
This summer the club have already added striker Roque Santa Cruz from
Blackburn for ￡18m and Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry for ￡12m to
their ranks.
City have also been heavily linked with former Manchester United striker
Carlos Tevez and Barcelona forward Samuel Eto'o as boss Mark Hughes tries to
put together a squad capable of challenging Chelsea and breaking into the
Premier League's top four.
阿拉想買球員 腦筋動到蔣公身上 這是我們第2次拒絕油王對隊長的報價了
我還蠻好奇他們出多少錢的說
