Chelsea may be tempted to re-sign Petr Cech this summer as they prepare for Real Madrid to make an official approach for Thibaut Courtois, according to reports in England.

Sky Sports News and the Daily Mail have both claimed the Blues have been offered the chance to bring Cech back to Stamford Bridge by Arsenal after the arrival of Bernd Leno from Bayer Leverkusen.
Chelsea are also interested in Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel while AC Milan’s Gianluigi Donnarumma remains on the club’s radar with Courtois expected to head to Madrid this summer.
Unai Emery has already spent over £70million on five new recruits since replacing Arsene Wenger in charge, and the Spaniard will need to raise funds if he is to continue the rebuilding process.

Cech spent 11 seasons at Chelsea, winning the Premier League four times and the Champions League, before leaving the club to join Arsenal in 2015.
The former Czech Republic international has retained a good relationship with Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia.
The veteran goalkeeper admitted last night that he had the chance to leave Arsenal last month amid interest from Napoli, but he claimed he was ready to fight for his place.
“There was interest from Napoli, it’s true, but my future is at Arsenal,” he said.
“I am not thinking about a change of club. Now there are three in competition for the Arsenal gloves and I am ready.”
But Chelsea’s interest would certainly make him reassess his options with Real have made Courtois their primary goalkeeping target this summer transfer window.
