Jose Mourinho doesn’t think he will be able to persuade Petr Cech to change his mind if the goalkeeper decides to leave Chelsea this summer.

The 32-year-old secured the 12th trophy of his Blues career in Sunday’s Capital One Cup final triumph over Tottenham at Wembley.

But he has fallen behind Thibaut Courtois in the pecking order this season and could seek pastures new in search of first-team football.

Chelsea manager Mourinho hopes that is not the case but reckons there will be no going back if the goalkeeper wants to find a new club.

“I don't think Petr is a guy to be persuaded. He doesn't let anyone persuade him.

“He will make his decision and, when he makes that decision, I think he's very mature making what he feels is the best decision for him and his future.

“I will just wait, wishing his decision is to stay. That's my desire. I would like him very, very much to stay.

“But I don't waste my time trying to persuade him because it's just his decision.

“If he tells me he wants to leave I will tell him my opinion, that he is one of the three best goalkeepers in the world, so huge money.”

Meanwhile, one veteran who will be staying with Chelsea next season is Blues skipper John Terry after Mourinho guaranteed he would remain at Stamford Bridge.
