Man City ready to make Chelsea's Terry first £300,000-A-WEEK player

Manchester City refuse to accept defeat in their bid for Chelsea captain John Terry.

The Sun says Terry has been offered a record-busting £300,000-A-WEEK to join Manchester City.

The future of the Chelsea and England skipper is now on a knife-edge.

Terry, 28, has been blown away by City's offer, which is worth a mind-blowing £15.6million-a-year.

But it is a measure of how boss Mark Hughes views the centre-back as crucial to City's development.

Terry would become easily the world's highest-paid player. His salary would dwarf even that of the footballer closest to him - Cristiano Ronaldo, on £255,000-a- week at Real Madrid.

Hughes is convinced he can get a good five years out of the centre-back, despite some of the injury problems he has suffered in the last couple of seasons, and has long had him on his radar.

A source told The Sun: "This one could run for a while. John is really interested in what City have to say. It is not impossible he could leave."
