Terry rejects Spartak deal

JOHN TERRY’S proposed move to join Spartak moscow in russia has been called off by the former Chelsea captain. The ex-england defender had flown by private jet to rome on Friday for a medical with the club ahead of finalising personal terms on a tax-free deal, believed to be in the region of £3million a year. but a statement from Terry (right) read: ‘After considerable thought, I have decided to decline a contract offer from Spartak moscow. I would like to thank Spartak and wish them and their supporters well for the rest of the season. They are an ambitious club and I have been very impressed. ‘but after assessing this move with my family, we’ve decided this is not the right move at this time. Good luck Spartak.’ Photos of Terry undergoing the medical appeared on his Instagram account but the move is now off. The 37-year-old has had numerous offers since leaving Aston Villa as a free agent in the summer following their play-off final defeat by Fulham. Terry has kept himself fit by training throughout the summer and said to Sportsmail that he was ‘still hungry’ to play. ‘I am in the best condition I have been in for the last eight to 10 years of my career,’ said Terry.
