John Terry

Chelsea have revealed that they have rejected yet another bid from Manchester City for John Terry.

City have been chasing Terry for some time, but their efforts continue to be unsuccessful. Indeed, Chelsea have gone to the lengths of releasing a statement on their official website.

It read, "Chelsea Football Club can confirm it has completely rejected an offer from Manchester City for John Terry.

"It was made clear to City, for the second time following an approach last season, that we would not entertain any conversation on the subject."

For his part, Terry has consistently repeated his commitment to Chelsea, despite the fact that Man City could considerably increase his wages. Along with Frank Lampard, he is currently the highest-paid player at Stamford Bridge.

Neither side has disclosed the value of the rejected bid.
