Experienced goalkeeper Petr Cech says he will hold talks with Chelsea next week and after those discussions he will decide whether he will remain with the Blues or not. He has just one year left on his contract and was probably frustrated to be the number two choice this season behind young Belgian goalie Thibaut Courtois. Manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that he wants Cech to remain at Stamford Bridge.
Arsenal and Manchester United have been linked with Petr Cech, who has won four Premier League titles and a Champions League crown with Chelsea. Cech spoke to the media ahead of the Czech Republic's European Championship qualifier against Iceland on Friday, here's what he said: "First I have to agree with the club what the conditions would be for leaving. Next week we will have a meeting with Chelsea. At the moment it is with my agent. When it is clearer and all the cards are on the table, we will decide. I believe that for what I have done for the club and what the club has done for me, we can arrange it so we are all happy."
The keeper also added: "I keep all options open, regardless of the country. I will decide based on what is best for me and my family. It does not matter whether it is England, Germany, France or Spain. If I move, it brings difficulties. It must change everything, look for housing, a school for children and so on. Therefore, the sooner I know what to do the better. I can plan everything and even rest before the new season."
Chelsea are 2.50 at Bet365 to win the Premier League title next season.

He can still defend at a high level, but Tibo is a first choice for Mourinho. He should leave Celsea. I think it is the best solution for Arsenal. With the Cech on goal, defenders will have more confidence, and with good defense they can to fight for the title in the Premier League.

If he definitily decides to leave the Blues,I am sure that there will be a lot of offers for him.He will continue career in some very big club,that is for sure.Honestly,at the moment,he is worse goalkeeper than Courtois,so it is expected for Petr to leave the club where he spent biggest time of his career.

I think that he should stay in Chelsea only if Tibo goes somewhere else, but I think that Tibo will stay and that mean that Cech should look for some other club because he is too good to be on the bench. He is still in good age and he can be first goalkeeper in the most of other Premier league teams.

I think the best thing for him will be to leave Chelsea, he have just few years ahead of him as a player and I guess he doesn't want to spend them on the bench. Arsenal have two decent keepers at the moment but United are desperate to find a replacement of De Gea so MU have to be the logical Cech's choice. I think both...

I think both sides will be happy from this particular deal.

I really like the style as goalkeeperPetr Cech, firm, and faces every game seriously, but it seems that he is facing a dilemma as he can not be another season on the bench, so, he must decide, to be the second option in Chelsea, or search a better place to another team? I think that options abound for this excellent player,...

What a great goalkeeper is Petr Cech. It's too bad what happened to him. I'll be honest and I'll say that after that head injury that he had I didn't expected that he will be back on the field, but he proved to all that he will not give up. Now when Chelsea have Thibaut Courtois he is not having many chances to play. I...

Now when Chelsea have Thibaut Courtois he is not having many chances to play. I hope that he will move to another club where he will be able to prove that even he is 33 years old he is still one of the best goalkeepers.

I feel sad for Petr. He has been great goalkeeper for entire decade, but now its time for hard decision. He has to leave, to find himself some better place. Hopefuly outside England. As a Chelsea fan I feel a little bit mad, but you got to understand what final decision was. Cech is 33 years old, and with that he has only...
I feel sad for Petr. He has been great goalkeeper for entire decade, but now its time for hard decision. He has to leave, to find himself some better place. Hopefuly outside England. As a Chelsea fan I feel a little bit mad, but you got to understand what final decision was. Cech is 33 years old, and with that he has only few more seasons ahead of him. Thibaut Courtois, on the other hand, has whole career ahead of him. And it would be immature if Blues let one of most perspective goalkeepers go, since Tibo doesn't want to be substitute, nobody does.

Cech is Chelsea's legend and I am glad to see that he will stay in club. I believe that he can be good replacement for Curtoa, and I would like to see him to end his career at Stamford Bridge. But I also wanted to see Lampard to do that, and he didn't so nothing will surprise me.

Chelsea has 2 of 5 best goalkeepers in the world in my opinion.I think that it might would be smart for them to let Czech go.His salary is very big so they would make an extra place for salary for some other player.He gave a lot to the Blues,but I think it is time for them to split their ways.He will be remembered as a...

Petr Cech is great goalkeeper and it is bad for him to be at bench. He is one of the best Chelsea player all time. He came in club in 2004 year and be part of every Chelsea success. He played almost 500 game for them and now it's time for him to move on. He is too good keeper to be second choice even in Chelsea.
