Former Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is leading the chase for Petr Cech’s signature as the stopper looks set to leave Stamford Bridge due to return of Thibaut Courtois lenghty loan stint at Atletico Madrid. Whether Cech is wanted to replace Casillas or just to increase the keepers competition remains to be seen.
However it is likely Casillas could be on his way out of Real with the recent signing of Keylor Navas from Levante and also Diego Lopez on the books, Real would have 4 top keepers on their books. With either Casillas or Lopez to depart.
Jose Mourinho is contemplating using Cech as a makeweight in a move to try and secure Raphael Varane’s signature as the Chelsea Manager rates the defender he took to Real Madrid very highly.
PSG are also interested in Cech and the option of having first refusal on Edinson Cavani may tempt Jose Mourinho to sell the stopper to the Ligue 1 champions.
