Milan Set For €48m Cech Offer
AC Milan are set to make a €48m offer for Cheslea goalkeeper Petr Cech, according to reports in Italy.

With Nelson Dida seemingly set to be released on a free transfer, and doubts still remaining over the ability of Zeljko Kalac, Milan have identified the signing of a new goalkeeper as their primary transfer target this summer.

A host of names have been linked with a move to San Siro, most notably Fiorentina’s Sebastien Frey, Celtic’s Artur Boruc, and PSV Eindoven’s Heurelho Gomes.

Latest reports in Italy suggest that Milan are now set to table a huge offer to Chelsea for Czech shot-stopper Petr Cech. Last week, Cech’s agent Pavel Zika, told Czech newspaper Pravo that a big European club were ready invest heavily in his client.

Zika said: "I know quite a large European club is ready to pay over 30 million euros for Petr Cech. It is an important sum for a goalkeeper. At the end of the season, we will consider the current contract of Petr and see whether we can improve it."

While many believe that these statements were intended as a bargaining chip into contract negations, reports in Italy insist that Milan are serious about signing Cech.

The 25-year-old, who has won 56 caps for his country, is widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
