London, July 17 - Former England football captain David Beckham strongly believes that John Terry will stay at Chelsea.

'I don't think JT (John Terry) will move because he's Chelsea through and through. But football's a business. I think he'll stay at Chelsea because they won't want to lose him,' Beckham was quoted as saying by The Daily Telegraph.

Beckham was speaking ahead of LA Galaxy's game Thursday night against New York Red Bulls. It was Beckham's first game in the United States since his loan period in AC Milan.

Terry has been linked to Manchester City, who had two bids rejected for the 28-year-old over the past six months and are expected to lodge an improved third offer. Terry's team-mates expect him to remain at the club despite City's willingness to double his 135,000 pounds-a-week salary with a five-year contract.

Beckham said: 'If you've got passion to play for the club you're at, then that goes beyond money. JT's like that. He's passionate about football, not passionate about money.

'He'll decide what's best for his football career. It won't be about money for him.
