Petr Cech is reportedly close to a move to Italian side Inter Milan.

The long-serving Chelsea keeper has slipped behind Thibaut Courtois this season, and the 32-year-old has been repeatedly linked with a move elsewhere, with Liverpool and Arsenal said to be interested.

A recent report claimed the Premier League leaders had no intention of offloading the shot-stopper to the Gunners.

However, Serie A giants Inter are the latest side to be linked with Cech.


Inter have grown frustrated with Samir Handanovic’s deliberation over a new deal at the San Siro and have decided to pursue Cech, according to Corriere Dello Sport, with the Italian newspaper claiming the Nerazzurri are now sweating on Jose Mourinho’s green light.



Mourinho is said to prefer Cech moving away from England, and Inter are readying a two-year deal with an option for a third, although a recent report claimed Southampton were also keen.

Speaking last month Cech said: ‘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.’
