John Terry has been offered a one-year contract extension at Chelsea, the Premier League club have confirmed.
The club captain had looked set to leave Stamford Bridge after 18 years in the first team, announcing in January that his contract would not be renewed.
However, he spoke more recently of his desire to stay and it was revealed at Friday's media conference that the 35-year-old had met with chairman Bruce Buck and director Marina Granovskaia to discuss fresh terms.
Terry has established himself as one of the London outfit's all-time greats, playing an integral role in domestic and European success.
It was feared he had played his last game for the club, though, when he was sent off in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Sunderland to incur a ban for the final two matches of the season.
Despite reported interest from across the globe, it is thought Terry's preference is to stay put as Chelsea seek to put an abysmal campaign behind them.
Sunday's match against Leicester City will be interim boss Guus Hiddink's last in charge.
