"Didn't Want to Be on the Bench": Terry's Cheeky Response to Ibrahimovic

Former Chelsea captain John Terry has responded to Zlatan Ibrahimovic's past comments regarding the Blues' interest in signing him.

Ibrahimovic, a former Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain striker, had stated, "Chelsea could not sign me. I have more trophies than Chelsea. I should have been the one to sign them." The Swedish forward, 43, implied that Chelsea was beneath him.

Terry, reacting to an Instagram post by 365Scores highlighting Ibrahimovic's quote, offered a different perspective. "He didn't want to be on the bench," Terry commented.

The exchange revives memories of the 2017 summer transfer window when Ibrahimovic joined Manchester United amidst reports of interest from top clubs, including Chelsea.
