Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has shrugged off rumours linking him with Real Madrid.

Cech has moved quickly to dispel any notion that he could leave Chelsea for Real, particularly with Iker Casillas the undisputed No.1 at the Santiago Bernabeu.

"It is common to say 'never say never', and it always happens that, if such a coach is appointed at such a big club, plenty of potential targets appear in the press," Cech told CTK.

"At the moment it is just at the level of big rumours and I don't think it is necessary to comment on them at all.

"Speculation will always be there, but I don't see it (a transfer) as being realistic.

"The goalkeeper's position is the last area Real have to improve and that makes it the end of the story for me."
