According to the Daily Mail UK, Terry was earning £140,000 but he took a huge pay cut which now reduces his wages to ‘just’ £50,000.
That translates to a loss of almost £5m a year for the former England man, who is said to have turned down lucrative moves to China to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge.
