Cech dismisses Real rumours

(GSM) – Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has dismissed speculative reports that he is set to reunite with his former manager Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid.

The Czech Republic shot-stopper has been linked with move after Real announced Mourinho as their manager.

Along with Cech, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole have also been mooted as targets for Mourinho.

However, Cech has moved quickly to dispel any notion that he could leave Chelsea for Real, particularly with Iker Casillas the undisputed No.1 at the Santiago Bernabeu.

“It is common to say ‘never say never’, and it always happens that, if such a coach is appointed at such a big club, plenty of potential targets appear in the press,” Cech told CTK.

“At the moment it is just at the level of big rumours and I don’t think it is necessary to comment on them at all.

“Speculation will always be there, but I don’t see it (a transfer) as being realistic.

“The goalkeeper’s position is the last area Real have to improve and that makes it the end of the story for me.”

Cech, who joined Chelsea in 2004, the same year Mourinho was appointed as manager, is hoping the club can win the UEFA Champions League next season following this term’s Double triumph.

The Czech Republic ace added: “I am happy there. The only major trophy that is left for Chelsea to win is the Champions League.

“And, in my opinion, at the moment we have a team strong enough to win the competition.

“As for my ambitions, I am satisfied and that is why I don’t intend to leave for anywhere.”
