City made an enquiry about Terry before the winter transfer window opened, Chelsea have confirmed.[LNB]That might underline the scale of City's ambition, but Terry sees no problem at Stamford Bridge in terms of future trophy-winning potential.[LNB]And the 28-year-old captain of Chelsea and England, who came through the youth ranks in west London, is adamant he will remain a one-club player.[LNB]He is determined to give everything for new boss Guus Hiddink, who saw Chelsea - minus the suspended Terry - secure a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals by beating Watford on Saturday.[LNB]Terry was kept informed by Chelsea about City's interest, and said: "I was very happy with their reaction as mine would have been the same.[LNB]"I have always said that I want to end my career at the club which I love and we all see no reason why that cannot happen.[LNB]"Given recent events I am more determined than ever to make Chelsea successful again."[LNB]Chelsea are likely to sell players in the summer in order to fund new signings, after their latest accounts showed a loss of almost £66million.[LNB]But they are adamant Terry represents everything positive about the club and insist he will not be sacrificed for the sake of bringing in fresh faces.[LNB]Chief executive Peter Kenyon told City, now backed by billionaire Arab owners, there was no chance of them landing Terry.[LNB]City turned their attentions to AC Milan's Kaka, only for their bumper bid for the Brazilian to fail.[LNB]Kenyon said: "We made it very clear that John was not for sale. We did not entertain any further conversation on the subject and nor will we in the future.[LNB]"John is our captain and the captain of England. He is part of the heart and soul of Chelsea."[LNB] [LNB]
