Cech-ing out: Five possible destinations for Chelsea stopper

Whilst it appears the Reds will still make further signings in the striker department, they have surprisingly not been linked with adding goalkeeper cover, despite letting Pepe Reina depart for Bayern Munich.

Simon Mignolet was shaky last season, as Liverpool leaked 50 league goals, and has continued this campaign in the same suspect vein of form.

Whilst it would be a controversial switch, adding Cech to Anfield ranks could be the most important signing Rodgers has yet made for the Reds, who are 10/1 to win the Premier League.

PSG
Parisian rich kids PSG have long been credited with an interest in Cech, ever since it emerged that Courtois was to return from his successful three-year loan stint with Atletico Madrid.

The French club currently have Italy international Salvatore Sirigu in nets, but there is little doubt that Cech would be an instant upgrade on the 27-year-old.

PSG’s league rivals Monaco have also been linked, and are still reported to be keen on the keeper despite swooping for Fulham flop Maarten Stekelenburg.

Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund’s chances of reclaiming the Bundesliga title from increasingly bitter rivals Bayern Munich already look slim following Polish poacher Robert Lewandowski’s defection.

Their competitors also have Manuel Neuer between the sticks. The former Schalke stopper is rightly considered one of the best players in the world in his position, and was crucial for Germany’s World Cup success.

Jurgen Klopp currently has vice captain Roman Weidenfeller as his number one, but acquiring Cech would go some way to bridging the gap in quality. A backline boasting Mats Hummels and Neven Subotic in front of the Czech keeper would surely be daunting prospect for any opposition.

Roma
Cech could also follow in former clubmate Ashely Cole’s footsteps by making a switch to Serie A. Current options Morgan de Sanctis and Bogdan Lobont are both a level lower than Chelsea’s backup option, as well as being several years older.

Roma are always on the hunt for a bargain and may have further funds to work with if they sell star centre back Mehdi Benatia.
