John Terry: Renewed bid from City

The Stamford Bridge club have confirmed that Mark Hughes has made a second bid for the England skipper and insist he is not for sale at any price and that they would "not entertain any conversation on the subject''.

Terry has long being linked with a move to Eastlands but it seems unlikely the centre-back would entertain a move north even if the Blues decided to cash in.

The 28-year-old first came on to Hughes' radar in January when the first offer was rejected.

"We can confirm we have completely rejected an offer from Manchester City for John Terry,'' a statement on the club's website read.

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

"At the time John also reiterated his total commitment to Chelsea. We would like to make it clear, and will not do so again, that John is not for sale.''
