Chelsea reject Manchester City bid for John Terry
The size of the offer made by City was not revealed in a statement released from Stamford Bridge however, the south-west London club sought to end any further interest by insisting there captain is not for sale.
It is the second time in as many seasons the Eastlands club have made a move for the 28-year-old. Their interest last year was met with similar short shrift from Chelsea and also prompted Terry to reiterate his desire to stay at Stamford Bridge.
"We can confirm we have completely rejected an offer from Manchester City for John Terry," the statement read. "It was made clear to City, for a second time following an approach last season, that we would not entertain any conversation on the subject.
"At the time John also reiterated his total commitment to Chelsea. We would like to make it clear, and will not do so again, that John is not for sale."
News of the offer being unsuccessful is the latest rebuff for City who have already had a bid to sign Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o knocked back.
The striker was rumoured to have demanded a £12 million sign-on fee as a deal breaker which City refused to meet.
Having already signed Roque Santa Cruz and Gareth Barry, Carlos Tevez is understood to top of the list of the club's remaining summer targets.
