London: Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has quashed rumours that he is on the verge of leaving Stamford Bridge to join Real Madrid.
Cech has been linked with a move to rejoin old boss Jose Mourinho at the Bernabeu as well as teaming up with Ricardo Carvalho who has already made the move.
Mourinho signed Portuguese defender Carvalho for £ 6.7 million having convinced him to come to Spain and the Real Madrid coach is rumoured to be attempting to persuade Chelsea's number one to do the same.
However, Cech has rejected claims that he has been in contact with Mourinho and also questioned whether Real need a goalkeeper to replace World Cup winner Iker Casillas.
"There are more of us here who were with Chelsea while Mourinho was in charge. So the media could speculate about many players. You should never say never but we have not spoken with Jose (Mourinho)." Cech told Pravo.
"If you take a look at Real's squad, you see that the goalkeeper's position is the only place where they have not had any reason to change anything."
Meanwhile, Chelsea have been quiet in this summer's transfer window with Yossi Benayoun and Ramires the two notable signings. Midfielders Joe Cole and Michael Ballack have also left the club but Cech is confident that more new faces could arrive before the end of the transfer window.
"It is normal that in such a big club like Chelsea someone comes in and someone leaves," argued the former Rennes keeper. "There may be some more activity yet because the transfer window is still open. Still someone might arrive."
