Chelsea superstar Petr Cech has now held talks with Turkish outfit Besiktas over a potential transfer at the end of the current campaign, as revealed by his agent. The 32-year-old keeper looks set to leave Stamford Bridge at the moment, having lost his place in the starting eleven to Belgian international Thibaut Courtois.
In March, Cech had himself stated, “I don’t know what the club’s idea will be. It looks like it works well with me and Thibaut as a duo.”
“But that can work for one season only. I don’t want another one like this.”
The Czech Republic international has been heavily linked with a move to London rivals Arsenal, but Jose Mourinho is unwilling to sell him to the Blues’ league rivals.
Besiktas on the other hand, have denied holding talks with the veteran goalie earlier in the year though the player’s agent Viktor Kolar confirmed otherwise. He told Turkish website Fanatik, “We have been in contact with Besiktas, we are in talks.”
“Turkey is a choice for Cech, but we will decide when the league is over.”
