Petr Cech is hoping to resolve his future quickly at a meeting with Chelsea next week and has admitted to the added complications for him and his family should he move outside of London
Arsenal are certainly interested in buying Cech and might be encouraged by his observations about moving his family but the 33-year-old will consider all offers and would potentially be prepared to leave England.
“I will decide based on what for me and my family was the best and it does not matter whether it is England, Germany, France and Spain,” he said.
“Next week we will have a meeting with Chelsea when the situation is clearer and all the cards are on the table. If I move, it brings difficulties. I must change everything, looking for housing, a school for children and so on.”
Manchester United are also lining up a replacement for David de Gea, who is expected to confirm to the club that he wants to move to Real Madrid.
Cech is currently focussed on preparations for the Cezch Republic’s Euro 2016 qualifier against Iceland on June 12 before talks with Chelsea.
Jose Mourinho does not want Cech joining a Premier League rival like Arsenal or Manchester United but the decision has been taken by directors and owner Roman Abramovich that, out of respect for his legendary status at the club, they should not stop him staying in England.
Tomas Rosicky is also with the Czech Republic squad and is clearly unhappy with his lack of first-team football this season with Arsenal. “Since the moment Arsene Wenger used the option in my contract (to keep Rosicky for another season), I haven't been even on the bench,” he said.
“I am laughing but it´s not funny. It´s frustrating but I am a professional. Even if you lose your place, you must be still prepared because the situation can change.”
Lukas Podolski, meanwhile, has indicated that he is prepared to see out the final year of his contract at Arsenal, even though he was allowed out on loan to Inter Milan last season.
“They are a great club and I think I can help them," said Podolski. “Things can always change, but if needs be I will remain at Arsenal next season. I still have many years ahead of me and a burning desire to play football.
