New Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has said John Terry will not be sold for any price and will remain as Chelsea captain "forever".

The talismanic defender has reportedly been the subject of two failed bids from Manchester City, with a third of around £40 million believed to be in the pipeline.

But Ancelotti, giving his first press conference as Chelsea boss, dismissed the speculation and insisted Terry will lead his team out next season, and many more to follow.

Speaking in English, Ancelotti said: "John Terry is a symbol of this team.

"He will be captain next season. He said he wants to stay forever and we want to keep him for ever."

He added: "Now there is a question of Manchester City, but for Terry (there is) no price.

"Terry will be at Chelsea forever.

"He said he wants to stay, there is no problem for him for us, the story continues - Chelsea and Terry.

"I like to have a captain like Terry, he is very close to (Milan and Italy legend Paolo) Maldini for professionalism, for quality and he will be the best captain for Chelsea.

"I spoke with Terry a month ago when I came to the club and he said welcome. And after he went on holiday.

"I will speak with him because he is the captain and I want a good relationship with the captain."

When asked if the club would offer Terry a new, improved contract, he added: "It's not my problem."

    and Citeh... well they're already a­ laughing stock.

They ain't got­ no "nappy" in their hair, it's all­ straight! They ain't got no tan either! I reckon­ they're George Bush's kids! God bless­ America...Excelsiour!

  10. is it just me that finds it funny that some 12 year old­ mommies boy aka colin spends his whole day on this page­ typing the least original lame comment over and over in­ an attempt to annoy everyone else? does he think this­ is a match and hes in the away end shouting the same­ chants all game?

  12. This sounds all too familiar a manager coming out and­ saying his player is definatley staying, and player­ saying nowt. I think Terry has had enough off the­ manager merry-go-round and the lack of young blood­ being brought into an ageing squad, his days are­ numbered.

  13. 178 most of the older chelsea fans will remember­ putting what they could afford into oil drum's­ placed around the ground ,and like me cant see what­ your point is ,there is no shame in turning full circle­ ,and may i add we did it prior to abramavich's­ billions came along we were 2nd in the league when he­ came! 2nd to arsenal that is not a bad feat i reckon !­ that my friend is history in the making ! deal with it

  14. peter, thats not entirely true

    chelsea had bought the­ stars before abramovic

    petrescu, zola, the mercenary­ VIalli, the entire french defense, poyet, laudrup,­ casiraghi, di matteo, flo

    ##############
    clubs that­ win things have bought the best players

  16. it seems all the chelsea fans appear to forget about­ about all the money abramovic pumped into them. before­ that you were more like millwall than arsenal
