Petr Cech
is expected to remain Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper next season,
with Thibaut Courtois due to be installed as his successor from next
summer.
According
to club insiders, Cech will be given the nod for one more year but
22-year-old Courtois, who has developed into one of the world’s best
keepers while on loan at Atletico Madrid, will be offered a lucrative
long-term contract over the summer — and the promise of the No 1 shirt
from 2015-16.
Staying: Petr Cech has been assured that he will still be Chelsea's number one next season
In line: But Thibaut Courtois will take the number one job from the following campaign
It
had been suggested Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho would install the
Belgian immediately but some sources insist the move may be delayed for
a year even though Cech requires shoulder surgery that may force him to
miss the start of the season.
It is possible Courtois will remain with Atletico for another year.
The
future of back-up keeper Mark Schwarzer, 41, is also unclear. His
one-year deal at Chelsea has ended and an extension has yet to be
agreed.
Uncertain: Mark Schwarzer's future at the club remains unclear.
