Think Terry , Lampard and co may be off!
CHELSEA have issued ‘take it or leave it’ deals to Frank Lampard, John Terry and Arjen Robben.
And it means the Blues trio will be on less money than Andriy Shevchenko and Michael Ballack.
Owner Roman Abramovich has declared no one will be paid more than Sheva and Ballack — who earn £121,000 a week.
And even though Lampard, Terry and Robben have all been central to the success Chelsea have achieved in the past three seasons, none has even been offered the same deal as the two newcomers.
Robben is the latest player to see a new contract on the table but has been told there will be no negotiations.
The Holland winger has been offered a new four-year agreement worth £84,000 a week.
Winger Robben is currently on £62,000 per week and, like Lamps and Terry, has two years left on his contract.
Chelsea skipper Terry has been been offered a deal worth £115,000 a week, which he has refused. Vice-captain Lampard has also rejected his offer.
Lampard and Terry feel aggrieved they have not been rewarded with at least the same contract as Shevchenko and Ballack, who have yet to win a championship at the club.
Robben, 23, has been attracting interest from Bayern Munich and Barcelona and could feasibly resign from his contract after the FA Cup final having completed three years of it.
