Fenerbahce are plotting a January raid of Chelsea’s defence as they are reportedly planning a double deal John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic, according to The Express.
The pair have endured a somewhat shaky start to the season, with both ousted from Chelsea’s starting lineup for the 4-0 victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv on Wednesday night.
Furthermore, reports emerged that Mourinho had sent his scouts out to find a replacement for Ivanovic, after a horror start to the season for the Serbia international.
Terry has also had a rather stuttered start to the season thus far, after Mourinho substituted the Chelsea captain at half time in the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City, before being sent off in the 3-2 victory over West Brom.
The pair were consistent figures in Chelsea’s dominant title-winning campaign last season, though with both of their respective contracts expiring at the end of this season; speculation over their future has already begun.
And it appears the first in line to approach the defenders in January is Turkish side Fenerbahce, who signed Manchester United’s Robin Van Persie during the summer.
Both playings can talk to foreign teams in January in the hope of agreeing a deal elsewhere for the next season because they are in the final year of their contract.
