According to London24.com, Chelsea winger Willian believes captain John Terry will leave the club in the summer.


The 35-year-old centre-back is out of contract in the summer and he publicly revealed last week that the Chelsea hierarchy have yet to offer him a new deal. 

The club maintain that Terry could still receive a contract extension but the defender says there have been no negotiations and he does not expect to retire a Chelsea player. 

The Blues will bring in a new manager to replace caretaker boss Guus Hiddink, and Terry’s future could change depending on the wishes of the new man coming in. But Willian believes Terry will be shown the door regardless, and he is preparing to say his goodbyes to the Chelsea legend in the summer.

Willian was then quoted saying:

“I’m thankful for having the opportunity to play beside him. I’ve learnt a lot from John Terry, I think he would like to stay longer with us, but unfortunately it seems he won’t be able to remain as a Chelsea player." 

“The club won’t probably extend his contract I can just wish him the best of luck for the rest of his career. “He is definitely one of the greatest or maybe the greatest player of Chelsea’s history. He’s won everything for this club. He is respected by all of us.”
