John Terry has been offered a big-money renuion with another Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola, according to reports.

The long-time Chelsea captain, 35, shockingly revealed that the Blues have told him they will not be offering him a new deal after more than 20 years at the club.

Terry is arguably Chelsea's greatest ever player, and easily the most successful, winning 14 of the 22 major honours the Blues have won in their 111-year history.

A free agent at the end of the season, Terry has already said he will not play for another Premier League club and is already linked with potential moves to China and Major League Soccer.

However, according to the Daily Mirror, Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola has already been in touch with Terry over a potential move to Qatar.

The Italian is manager of Al Arabi and is said to be 'confident' he can convince Terry to choose the Middle East over other moves.

Qatar are desperate to bring in stars to boost their domestic league in the build up to the 2022 World Cup - former Barcelona captain Xavi plays for Al Sadd.
