Cech puts to rest talk of move to Barca

Petr Cech

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has reaffirmed his commitment to the club in the wake of reports suggesting he was keen on a move to Barcelona.


The 25-year-old, who is less than two years into a four-year contract at Stamford Bridge, was quoted by several newspapers admitting it "would be worth considering" a switch to the Catalan giants.


But the Czech international has moved to clarify his position and insists his words were taken out of context.


"There are a few stories that have appeared today in the press quoting me that I was interested in moving in Barcelona," Cech said.


"These were taken from an interview I gave back in 2003 when I was at Rennes.


"I am very happy at Chelsea and this is where I see my future."


Cech limped off at half-time of last week's Champions League stalemate at Schalke and is expected to be out for up to a month.


He joined the Blues from French club Rennes for £7million in 2004 and has gone on to establish himself as one of the world's best keepers.
