CECHS MIND IN STAMFORD BRIDGE. Despite Petr Cechs resolve to stay in Chelsea, his agent - Viktor Kolar revealed that PSG and Monaco have continued to make contacts with the keeper. Albeit the Czech Republic international is still recovering from his shoulder injury that sidelined him towards the end of the season, his long term future at Stamford Bridge has come under much speculation this summer. However, Thibaut Courtois, the Belgium international is expected back to Stamford Bridge next season, thus bringing to an end his three-year stay at Atletico Madrid. The 22-year-old has made remarkable progress during his stint in Spain and is widely considered as one of the best in the World at the moment. Thibaut Courtois put up impressive performances for Atletico Madrid last season that made Madrid to win the La Liga and went further to the final of the Champions League. Courtois return to Stamford Bridge could mean that Petr Cech may be relegated to the bench next season as he will be so keen to play regular first team football. Cech has been a regular at Chelsea since his move from Rennes in 2004. He has made 470 appearances for the Blues in the last 10 seasons at Stamford Bridge and has won three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups, one Champions League and one Europa League during this period. But reports suggest that the 32-year-old could be headed for exit, following the likes of Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole, from the London club this summer, as he is not likely to concede to play second fiddle to Courtois at this point of his career. Viktor Kolar, Cechs agent affirmed that his agent is keen to extend his stay at Chelsea and that Mourinho is yet to exhibit any character signifying that Cech is no longer wanted in London. “Nothing has changed as yet . Cech has two years left on his contract and has the zeal to continue there. Mourinho did not tell him that he would not count on him anymore. “We have not been given any signals that Petr would be made available for transfer. If that was the case, though, you have to realise that Petr is one of the world’s top goalkeepers and has an attractive remuneration. This, though, not many clubs could afford to sign him. “If he decides to leave, we’re only going to be discussing with two or three clubs in the world. In any case, there is yet anything suggesting the foregoing; hence he is staying at Chelsea.” – Kolar said in an interview. The agent has also revealed that they have been in contact with PSG and Monaco, but should Chelsea contemplate to sell Cechs, Barcelona and Real Madrid would immediately be reached. “Paris Saint-Germain have shown keen interest and we are also in contact with Monaco. “I would get in touch with Zubizarreta (Barcelona) and people at Real Madrid. These are clubs we would consider if Chelsea wanted to get rid of Petr. We would also consider Bayern but they have Neuer there. Then there are leagues Petr would not go to. For instance, the Serie A, because clubs in that league have problems.” – The agent averred. But he stressed that Chelsea remains Cech’s priority as he and his family are well settled in London. It should be noted that Petr isn’t growing younger any more. His family are satisfied living in London. He is also satisfied at Chelsea and there is interest in his services even after his active football career, so that they would want him to continue in some position at the club. However, Petr is successfully recuperating from his shoulder injury and everything is going on accordingly. He will, undoubtedly be ready for the pre-season preparation.
