Cech In 25m Transfer Link
The agent of Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has claimed that an unnamed European club are set to bid around 25 million pound for the services of the custodian.
Pavel Zika, speaking to Czech newspaper Pravo, said that another 10 clubs have been inquiring about the availability of Cech.
The agent also went on to add that negotiations will take place at the end of the current campign to improve the terms of the Czech international’s contract.
The announcement of the alleged interest from a European side could be seen as an attempt to introduce a bargaining chip into contract negations as it is well known that Cech is enjoying his time in London and is unlikely to depart.
Zika said: "I know quite a large European club is ready to pay over 30 million euros for Petr Cech. It is an important sum for a goalkeeper. At the end of the season, we will consider the current contract of Petr and see whether we can improve it."
The identity of the club remains unclear, but both Barcelona and Milan are known to be looking for new number ones after putting Victor Valdes and Dida on the transfer list respectively.
