John Terry asks Roman Abramovich for Man City talks
Published 00:00 12/07/09 By EXCLUSIVE by Paul Smith
John Terry and Roman Abramovich were locked in crisis talks last night.
The Chelsea star met the club's billionaire owner at the Cobham training ground.
Terry asked for the chance to hear what Manchester City want to offer him.
Cash-rich City, funded by their Abu Dhabi United backers, are poised to table a new, third bid for Terry.
They will put £50million on the table, believing it is the offer Chelsea can't refuse.
Chelsea have insisted that 28-year-old Terry will not be sold at any price, but yesterday's meeting with Abramovich could spark a change in policy.
It is not just the opportunity of becoming the highest paid player in English football, on £250,000 a-week at City, that is sparking Terry's unrest.
He has confided in friends that he has been unhappy at Chelsea for several months and has been concerned by the club's transfer policy and the lack of impact some major signings have had.
Terry has been at Chelsea since he was a schoolboy.
He now feels that club should allow him to meet City officials to discover what they have in mind for him.
