John Terry has lead Championship giants Aston Villa to the verge of the Premier League but the USA and China are calling.

Aston Villa could see the nucleus of their squad torn apart should they lose against Fulham in the upcoming Championship play-off final.

Permanent deals for loan stars Lewis Grabban, Robert Snograss and Sam Johnstone seem to depend on whether Aston Villa are playing Premier League football next season while the future of 37-year-old captain John Terry has come under question too.

Terry has been a revelation at Villa since he arrived last summer following his release by Chelsea, forging a superb defensive partnership with James Chester.

The former England skipper has said that he would be keen to stay on if Steve Bruce’s side win that crucial clash with Fulham at Wembley and Villa would love to tie him down to a new one-year contract.

But, according to The Mirror, there could be a twist in the tale, even if the Midland giants emerge victorious in the national stadium. It is understood that Terry has more lucrative offers on the table from the US and China.

The five-time Premier League champion is receiving a wage of around £60,000 a week at Villa, a hefty pay-packet at Championship level, but will be offered eye-watering fees to wind down his career across the Atlantic or in the Far East.

Terry considered offers from the MLS and the Chinese Super League last summer before taking the plunge at Aston Villa, according to The Telegraph.

But, one year closer to the end of his career, it remains to be seen whether the lure of one last payday proves too tempting.
