Good news for Aston Villa as John Terry’s move reportedly breaks down

Aston Villa target John Terry was set to complete a move to Russia side Spartak Moscow, and reportedly completed a medical on Saturday.

However, reports from Russia are stating that John Terry’s move to Moscow has broken down, providing hope for Steve Bruce’s Aston Villa as they may look to rejoin the race for the experienced defender.

The defender revealed that he has “unfinished business” at Villa Park in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, and we be open to a reunion with manager Steve Bruce.

He said:

“When we spoke in the summer, it wasn’t long after the season and I was still hurting. I loved my time at Aston Villa. I am still devastated that we didn’t go up. The manager, players and supporters were incredible with me but I hate losing and I feel there is unfinished business there.

‘Steve Bruce is a great man and with the backing of the new owners, Steve will hopefully get the club back into the Premier League.”

The veteran defender was a vital part of the Villa side that made the Championship Play-Off final, losing to Slavisa Jokanovic’s Fulham at the final hurdle. Terry formed a strong partnership with James Chester, as Villa finished fourth.

In the interview with the Daily Mail, Terry’s genuine passion and love for the club comes across as clear as day.

He added:

“At Villa I would be there at the training ground with Robert Snodgrass, Conor Hourihane and Jack Grealish, working hard and training hard. I loved it there. From the first training session I wanted to prove myself.

“The fans were brilliant. They came to the training ground every day in the build-up to the game against Birmingham.

“Their message, “We would rather be relegated than lose to these!” I’ve never felt so much pressure in a game but we won 2-0 and Villa Park was buzzing.

‘We were filling the stadium. Someone threw a stat at me, “John, this is the biggest home crowd you have ever played in front of”. 

The defender will continue to weigh up his options, with a few offers on the table and several other options he has available. Terry is keen to go into management in the long-term, but has also had other offers from abroad and from media outlets to potentially go into punditry.
