John Terry is set to take a major step into football ownership. The former Chelsea captain is closing in on a deal to buy an EFL club. However, this move has been in progress for some time.
Meanwhile, Terry will not act alone. He is part of a consortium preparing to complete the takeover.
At the same time, this deal could be around £14 million. An official announcement could arrive soon.
Colchester United currently compete in League Two. They sit in mid-table and face Accrington Stanley next.
Meanwhile, Terry already has a connection to the club. His nephew Frankie Terry is part of the Colchester United squad.
At the same time, he has shown a strong interest in lower league football. According to The Sun, he wants to support clubs at that level.
The Sun has also revealed that Terry has already visited the training ground. He has quietly started to get involved.
Meanwhile, the players of Colchester have reacted positively. The squad are also excited about his arrival.
At the same time, Terry might have a significant influence on football matters. This move follows a growing trend of high-profile figures investing in football clubs.
Ryan Reynolds has enjoyed success with Wrexham. Snoop Dogg has become involved with Swansea. Will Ferrell has also invested in Leeds.
Meanwhile, Tom Brady has joined Birmingham City. David Beckham has built success with Inter Miami.
However, Terry’s focus remains clear. He wants to help Colchester United grow and push forward. Terry won five Premier League titles and the Champions League with Chelsea.
So, if the deal goes through, it could mark the start of a new chapter both for him and Colchester United.
