Chelsea are set to make
skipper John Terry the highest paid player at the club to ward off
Manchester City's
attentions.
The Mirror says Terry will meet new boss
Carlo Ancelotti for the first
time today when he returns from his summer break.
He will also have talks with chief executive Peter Kenyon and
the rest of the club's hierarchy as the Blues seek to put an end to
the questions over his future.
And Chelsea will up the ante
by inviting Terry for talks over a pay rise that would see his
earnings rise by around £25,000 per week to £7.7million a
season.
Chelsea are ready to meet Terry half-way by offering him more
money, but they will not go close to the £300,000 per week on offer
from City.
