Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti insists he is completely certain that club captain John Terry will stay at Stamford Bridge despite the overtures of Manchester City. The England skipper is a target for City boss Mark Hughes, who believes he can tempt the defender away from Stamford Bridge, but despite much speculation over the Terry's future Ancelotti remains convinced he will stay. Carlo Ancelotti No doubt: Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is not worried over City's chase for Terry The Blues have been steadfast in their refusal to countenance a deal for a player who has spent his entire professional career with the club and Ancelotti does not expect that to change. Ancelotti who, like Terry, is currently on Chelsea's tour of America said: 'I am sure he will remain at Chelsea. I am sure, 100 per cent. 'He has a contract for three years more and this is the situation now.' Striker Salomon Kalou, meanwhile, believes that City's astonishing bargaining power will not turn Terry's head. A deal of up to £200,000 a week is thought to be on offer in addition to a transfer fee of around £40million but Kalou does not believe money comes into it. 'He doesn't pay attention to that,' the Ivorian said. 'Maybe if he was paying attention to that it might disturb a little bit of the team, but you can tell he is not disturbed by this situation.'
