Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has warned John Terry he must maintain last season's form to win another 12-month deal.
The club captain was handed a new one-year deal at the end of last term after impressing Mourinho with his displays at the heart of the defence.
"The contract John got was only based on performances, not his status or his captaincy, just performances," Mourinho told the club's official website.
"We think this way is a very good way of dealing with these kinds of players. John knows me and he knows the club. He just has to be worried about performing.
"I don't remember a better season than the one he just had. That's the point. Last season he had one minor injury. He played basically every match, and at a very high level.
"When you have a player able to perform during the whole season it's because you believe that the next season he can do the same."
