The Blues skipper is out of contract at the end of the season but is reportedly mulling over a one-year contract extension.
Petrescu told the Gulf Times newspaper: “Where will John Terry end up next season? Al Nasr. Of course, why not? I will call him and ask.”
‘I wish he was here. He’s a very good friend and a good player. I don’t know what he will do, but I wish him well. It depends on Chelsea. If they really want him he will stay, I’m sure.
‘I think he should still play on. As a central defender it shouldn’t be a problem and he is fit, so I’m sure he will play more.’
Terry has played just five times in the Premier League this season for Antonio Conte’s team, playing a minimal role for the table-toppers and FA Cup semi-finalists.
Petrescu, 49, says he is on good terms with Terry, despite admitting they’d fallen out immediately during a Chelsea training session in 1998.
The former Romania international, who also played in the Premier League for Sheffield Wednesday, Bradford City and Southampton, said: ‘Maybe it was because we fought in our first training session. We had a very bad fight.
‘I can’t take any credit for shaping his career. He made it himself, not me. I was part of a great team with him. All the team was good, not only me.’
