With the battle for the number 1 goalkeeping jersey seemingly won by new arrival Thibaut Courtois, Chelsea will look to cash in on legendary goalkeeper Petr Cech in order to find bid for Real Madrid centre back Raphael Varane.
Its no secret that Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho rates the French defender so highly, he’s described him as ‘The best young centre back in the world’ and would love to add him to the blues squad this summer.
Chelsea are closely monitoring the contract situation between Varane and his current club Real Madrid and will look to pounce if Petr Cech is sold with a host or clubs lining up for his signature.
Coincidently enough it’s Real Madrid who appear to be first in that queue with their goalkeeping situation looking uncertain for 2014-15 and a deal could be struck seeing the two move in opposite directions.
With Chelsea’s 20million bud for Atletico’s Miranda rejected Jose Mourinho has turned his attention to a player he knows well and could be a potential long term replacement for John Terry.
The French international defender impressed at the recent Fifa World Cup and is thought to be open about a move to the Premier League.
