Only days before Manchester City had a £30m bid for Terry rejected, the Blues defender and Eastlands manager Mark Hughes stayed at the same hotel complex in Dubai.
New Blues manager Carlo Ancelotti will seek face-to-face talks with Terry as the Italian officially takes charge at Stamford Bridge on Monday morning.

If City fail in their bid to sign Terry, Hughes will turn his attentions towards 31-year-old Barcelona defender Carles Puyol.

Arsenal target Felipe Melo has dealt the Gunners a blow by signing for Juventus from Fiorentina.
Real Madrid director general Jorge Valdano says the £35m figure they have been quoted for Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso means they are close to pulling out of any deal to sign him.
Good. Wank3rs.
The Spanish club have spent about £170m this summer but the £69m asking price for Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery is one step too far and could open the door for Chelsea to sign the French international.
But Real Madrid have agreed a deal with Ribery and he will become a 'galactico' next summer.
Manchester City are preparing a third bid for Chelsea skipper John Terry. When left-back Wayne Bridge arrived at Eastlands from Stamford Bridge in January, he gave City reason to believe centre-back Terry could be tempted away from the Blues.
Terry is upset Chelsea have not been in contact with him since City's recent £30m bid for him and wants talks with Blues owner Roman Abramovich.
Arsenal fans have launched their own Michael Owen-style brochure in a send-up trying to sell striker Emmanuel Adebayor to any interested club.
LOL

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has met with John Terry and believes the defender is happy to stay at Stamford Bridge despite talk of a £30m offer from Manchester City. The Blues plan to make Terry their best-paid player.
Man City are increasingly confident of tempting Terry to Eastlands despite Chelsea's offer of a new contract which would make the 28-year-old England captain their highest-paid player.
Man City have given Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o 24 hours to sign for them or miss out on becoming the best-paid player in English football.
Barcelona have stepped up their pursuit of Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas after club president Joan Laporta claimed signing the £40m-rated Spaniard is high on their agenda this summer.
Fabregas is at the centre of a potential bidding war between Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Arsenal appear to have missed out on Fiorentina midfielder Felipe Melo and manager Arsene Wenger now wants to sign Ever Banega, Valencia's 21-year-old Argentine midfielder.
