John Terry will leave Chelsea at the end of the current season.

Terry will not retire and will pursue a future away from the Premier League.

Terry is 35 and has spent 18 years with Chelsea.

"I was in last week before the Arsenal game, and [my contract] is not going to be extended," Terry said.

"It's my last run in the FA Cup, so I want to make it a good one. It's a big season for me and I want to push on -- not just in this competition but in the Premier League as well. I knew [the situation] before the Arsenal game, so mentally I've kind of accepted it. We just have to move on and climb the league.

"My agent made the call, like we do every January. He got told over the phone and I called to set up a meeting the following day. The club immediately set that up, which was great of them to do. I wanted to hear it face to face."

Josep Maria Bartomeu has said Barcelona will not sign Celta Vigo star Nolito in the winter window.

Nolito has scored eight goals in 15 La Liga games, but Bartomeu told Cadena Ser radio: "In these past few days there has been so much talk about a player.

"But the club obviously can't -- we have a limitation on our debt, and with that we can't do anything about it."

Nolito has an €18 million release clause.

Louis van Gaal would like to remain as manager of Manchester United through the end of his contract after the 16-17 season.

"I have signed a three-year contract and I have said in all my press conferences that it's a process, not one game," Van Gaal told reporters. "And I want to continue until the end. If I am not willing to do that, I don't think I would have started here one-and-a-half years ago."

United have only taken 10 points from their last 10 league games and have won just three of their last 14 matches in all competitions.

"When I say things to defend myself then it's not good," he said. "Because why do I have to defend myself?

"When you see the circumstances -- we have eight injuries, you cannot say that is the manager's fault because five or six are contact injuries, and it's also the same position, full-back.

"We have been first in the Premier League -- you may remember that -- but that was one-and-a-half months ago and the injuries are now and that is also a problem. If I could prevent injuries then maybe I'm guilty and I have to stand down but not when I don't have that feeling and we were No. 1 in the Premier League."

Gary Cahill is unlikely to be sold by Chelsea during the January transfer window.

Cahill has grown frustrated by his lack of first team opportunities.

A source close to Cahill, a £7 million signing from Bolton four years ago, told Reuters the 30-year-old considered himself to be “at the crossroads of his career.”

Chelsea is on the verge of signing Matt Miazga of the New York Red Bulls.

Chris Smalling and John Stones have made strong cases to be England's first choice center backs during Euro 2016.

The LA Galaxy have acquired Ashley Cole.

“Ashley is one of the world’s most successful defenders and has played at the highest level of competition throughout his career,” said Bruce Arena. “He can provide our defense with valuable experience. We look forward to his contribution to our club this season.”

Cole spent most of his career with Arsenal and Chelsea.

After over 10 years in England, Cole moved to Italy when he signed with A.S. Roma in Serie A, Italy’s top-flight professional division, where he spent two seasons.

Matt Miazga will be sold by the New York Red Bulls to Chelsea.

Miazga had less than a year to run on his current contract with the Red Bulls.

On Tuesday, multiple sources told ESPN FC that Miazga was set to be sold to an undisclosed Premier League team. The Daily Mail reported that the transfer fee is approximately $5 million.

Chelsea has long been rumored to be on the trail of Miazga, with word emerging in November that the Blues had made an offer for the center-back. Leicester City and Stoke City had also been reportedly interested in Miazga.

Fernando Torres is unlikely to remain at Atletico Madrid next season.

Torres was told by Diego Simeone that he's not in the club's plans for the 16-17 campaign.

Torres is on loan from AC Milan.

Asked about Torres this week, Simeone was non-committal: “The other day I said there was nothing to say because there wasn’t. We’ve talked to Fernando and he knows what I think and he’s told me what he feels. The talk remains private. We’ve talked, which is the main thing.”

Tim Howard and the Colorado Rapids have mutual interest and is likely to arrive in the summer.

Colorado's interest in Howard first emerged earlier this month, and now sources have confirmed that Howard is indeed interested in returning to MLS.

One source with knowledge of the negotiations indicated "discussions are ongoing and positive."

Howard signed a four-year contract with Everton in 2014 that lasts until 2018.

The Rapids are unlikely to need to pay a transfer fee.

The source said Howard will earn between $2-3 million per year, making him easily the highest paid goalkeeper in MLS.

Zinedine Zidane has reportedly told Real Madrid that Eden Hazard must be acquired at all costs, according to El Chiringuito. 

Hazard has reportedly been interested in a move away from Chelsea.

Hazard has been inconsistent this season after being the best player in the Premier League in 14-15.

Maurizio Zamparini has called Paulo Dybala the next Lionel Messi and believes he's worth €100 million.

Zamparini is the president of Palermo and sold Dybala to Juventus last summer.

“I think he is worth €100 million, Dybala is the young Messi,” Zamparini asserted.

“I sold him for €32 million then there is a further eight in add ons, so that equals up to €40 million.

“And when I decided to sell him there was talk of scandal, now instead they say that [Giuseppe] Marotta is a legend.”
