Shanghai SIPG, managed by former Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas, reportedly want to sign Blues captain John Terry in January.
According to Darren Lewis of the Daily Mirror, the Chinese Super League outfit are hoping to lure the 35-year-old to the club to become a key part of Villas-Boas’ setup. It’s noted Shanghai’s interest in Terry is longstanding, with the veteran having rejected a two-year deal from the club earlier in the year worth a potential £12 million.
As reported by Lewis, Terry and Villas-Boas didn’t see eye-to-eye during the Portuguese’s stint at Chelsea during the 2011-12 season; the Portuguese coach was sacked after just nine months at Stamford Bridge.
