Galatasaray are putting together a £10million deal in a bid to lure John Terry to Turkey.

Terry’s deal at Stamford Bridge expires in the summer and Chelsea, in the light of his outstanding form this season, are expected to offer him an extension .

But that will only be for 12 months and champions Galatasary are prepared to offer the 33-year-old a two-year deal.

Their £5million-a-season offer ‘only’ comes in at £100,000 a week – but that will be TAX-FREE.

Plenty of Premier League clubs are monitoring the situation but would have to pay considerably more than a weekly £100,000 to tempt Terry.

Galatasaray meet Chelsea in the last 16 of the Champions League at the end of next month.

The Turkish side have spent heavily in recent times, recruiting Terry’s former team-mate Didier Drogba and Dutch midfield star Wesley Sneijder.

And, of course, they hired Roberto Mancini in the summer. Mancini’s stock has been strengthened by qualification for the knock-out round in Europe but he is under pressure to close an eight-point gap to league leaders Fenerbahce.

Mancini and Galatasary are free to talk to Terry now but the ex-England captain is likely to wait to see what Chelsea have to say first.

Jose Mourinho will be desperate for Terry to stay and the strong bonds between player and the club mean Chelsea remains the place he will most likely be playing next season.

But that will not stop the Turkish giants trying.

John Terry is ready to come out of international retirement in an effort to win a place in Roy Hodgson’s World Cup squad.

Chelsea skipper Terry lead England into the last World Cup in South Africa four years ago when Fabio Capello’s team flopped.

He then stood down in September 2012, after being suspended for four matches by the Football Association over the Anton Ferdinand racism row – even though he was cleared of criminal charges.

Now the dust has settled in that incident, the 33-year-old is ready to make himself available for England’s friendly with Denmark in March and would win his 79th cap if selected.

CLUB METRO: Why JT return for England makes perfect sense

The Sunday Mirror, however, says Hodgson will be under pressure if Terry says he wants to play for his country again.

He is loyal to Everton centre-half Phil Jagielka and Terry’s Stamford Bridge team-mate Gary Cahill, while Manchester United defender Chris Smalling is a personal favourite with the England boss.

Hodgson also stated in November that a recall for Terry was not on the cards and he may be reluctant to go back on his word.

But Terry has been the best centre-half in the Premier League this season and has the experience to be an invaluable asset in the heat of the World Cup finals in Brazil later this year.

thats the sweetest thing i have seen

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Btw, is it me or is his son technically very good on the ball for his age?!

[Henrique 9,133]

Needs a rest. Had a poor game in first half, losing almost all challenges not to mention he let ball pass him to Welbeck. Luckily it wasn't RVB.

All 4 CB's playing in the XI is a risk. Now that Matic is signed, I hope Terry is rotated a bit more

It seems the that Cahill is showing Terry-ish level of maturity and discipline. We can trust Luiz with him after all.

John Terry resigned to leaving Chelsea this summer as he still hasn't been offered new long-term deal
