Mancini lines up lucrative move to tempt Chelsea captain John Terry to Galatasaray

CHELSEA, LONDON: Galatasaray will try to tempt John Terry away from Chelsea with a multi-million-pound three-year deal.

The Turkish champions have stepped up their interest in Terry to satisfy new manager Roberto Mancini’s request for defensive reinforcements.

Terry is out of contract at the end of the season and allowed to open talks with overseas clubs from January 1.
Galatasaray are understood to be constructing a deal for the 32-year-old worth £3.2million a year after tax, for two years, with the option of a third.

Attractive bonuses and incentives for success in the Champions League would make it a competitive offer for Terry, who is thought to earn £8m a year.

The Turks appear to be serious and it is impossible to question the ambition of a club that lured Didier Drogba and Wesley Sneijder to Istanbul and appointed Mancini on a three-year contract.
They have deployed the London-based agent Muzzi Ozcan, who led the swoop for Mancini in September.
