Real Madrid are plotting a January bid for Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech. The London Evening Standard says Cech has lost his place as Chelsea's No1 to Thibaut Courtois this term and already revealed he is thinking of ending his 10-year stay at Stamford Bridge.
So far he has made just two appearances for the Blues this term and is worried about losing his place in the Czech Republic national team should he remain on the bench.
Real Madrid have been interested in Cech for some time. Coach Carlo Ancelotti worked with the 32-year-old at Chelsea during his period in charge between 2009-11 and sees him as a possible replacement for Iker Casillas.
Cech has already been targeted by Atletico and Roma but his representative, Viktor Kolar, revealed in July that he would contact Real over a possible move should his role at Chelsea be diminished.
