Petr Cech Latest: Jose Mourinho hints at possible swap deal

Jose Mourinho has warned clubs hoping to sign Petr Cech: If I give you one of mine, you give me one of yours!

The Cezch international, who is set for contract talks next week, is being widely linked with a move away from Chelsea this summer, with Arsenal and Manchester United reportedly keen on him, as well as a number of clubs in Europe.

Mourinho is keen to keep Cech at Stamford Bridge, but knows he is facing an uphill battle, with the 33-year-old naturally not keen on spending another season as second choice to Thibaut Courtois.

But the Portuguese has cheekily suggested he might take one of his rivals’ players if they want his goalkeeper.

"Every club that is interested in Petr, I can find a player that I like in that team, too," Mourinho said at the launch of BT Sport's European football coverage.

He does admit, however, he might be powerless to keep Cech.

"My answer [on his future] is not important," he added. "My answer is not important because the owner is the owner, he is the person with the perspective I admire a lot, respect a lot.

"He respects a lot of people who do important things for him.

"Since 2004 to 2014-15, ten years of success with the club, ten years of unbelievable behaviour. I will have to accept any decision the owner has.

"I'm different. I have the same respect for Petr that everybody at the club has, but my answer would be, no way. If the answer is different I will accept that."
