ANCELOTTI: 100%, TERRY STAYS

~

Manager Carlo Ancelotti is certain Chelsea captain John Terry will remain with the club despite the overtures of Manchester City.

Terry is a target for City boss Mark Hughes, who believes he can tempt the England skipper away from Stamford Bridge, but despite much speculation over the defender's future Ancelotti remains convinced he will stay.

The Blues have been steadfast in their refusal to countenance a deal for a player who has spent his entire professional career with the club and Ancelotti does not expect that to change.

Ancelotti who, like Terry, is currently on Chelsea's tour of America told BBC Sport: "I am sure he will remain at Chelsea.

"I am sure, 100%. He has a contract for three years more and this is the situation now."

Striker Salomon Kalou, meanwhile, believes that City's astonishing bargaining power will not turn Terry's head.

A deal of up to £200,000 a week is thought to be on offer in addition to a transfer fee of around £30million but Kalou does not believe money comes into it.

Kalou said: "He doesn't pay attention to that. Maybe if he was paying attention to that it might disturb a little bit of the team, but you can tell he is not disturbed by this situation."
