Terry’s contract details revealed

John Terry is closing in on a shock move to Russia to play for Spartak Moscow.

Former Chelsea and England captain Terry passed a medical on Saturday and will pick up £3million for his one-year deal.

The 37-year-old is out of contract after leaving Aston Villa in the summer when they failed to win promotion back to the Premier League, losing 1-0 to Fulham in the Championship play-off final.

Spartak are in the same Europa League group as Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard’s Rangers, which means Terry could return to Britain for the game at Ibrox on October 25. And with Chelsea in the competition, a potential game against his beloved Blues could be on if they both advance to the knockout phase.

The centre-half had four concrete offers to extend his playing career, including one in the Premier League, but has opted to join Spartak for the next 12 months at least.

He could extend his stay, with the deal understood to include an option for a further year.

Terry underwent a medical in Rome on Saturday morning after jetting to Italy the night before.

His previous experiences of Moscow have not always been good — it was in the city’s Luzhniki Stadium in 2008 that he famously slipped and missed a penalty in a Champions League final shootout loss to Manchester United.

Terry was due to play in a charity match organised by James Milner and Stiliyan Petrov on Saturday but pulled out when he reached an agreement in principle with Spartak.

The Russian Premier League side will become only the third club of Terry’s career following his trophy-laden days at Chelsea and a year at Villa, with whom he narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League in the summer.

* STEVE BRUCE is ready to offer Terry’s former Chelsea team-mate Robert Huth a chance to rekindle his career. The Aston Villa boss will turn to the clubless 34-year-old, a title winner with Leicester in 2016, in the next 48 hours after seeing a move to re-sign Terry come to nothing.
