The 30-year-old has three years left on his current contract, but wants to end his playing days at Stamford Bridge.
He said: “I’m hoping to get an extension on my contract of at least another year – I really am.
“I will try to stay here as long as I can. I love this football club and I never want to leave.
“I’m like the fans in that I take it home with me – and whenever we lose I take it out on the people closest to me.
“I’m very fortunate to be captain of such a fantastic club.”
