Chelsea braced for Petr Cech bids from Real Madrid, PSG and Monaco... if Blues keeper loses his starting spot to Thibaut Courtois

Petr Cech and Thibaut Courtois are vying for the No 1 jersey at Chelsea

Veteran Cech is likely to leave if he is Jose Mourinho's second choice 

Real Madrid, Monaco and PSG are interested in the Czech international 

Courtois has been warned his Belgium place is at risk if he is not a starter

Chelsea are preparing for a sudden flurry of offers for Petr Cech amid fears he is losing his duel with Thibaut Courtois to be first-choice goalkeeper.

Jose Mourinho has insisted he will not reveal before Sunday who will start their opening game at Burnley on Monday night.

Neither has been given any indication but Courtois appears confident of getting the nod after playing for 90 minutes in a friendly against Real Sociedad on Tuesday.

Cech, the No.1 since he arrived from Rennes a decade ago, seems less certain and will have to consider his future if Mourinho opts for the young Belgian. Both have two years left on their contracts.

Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco are keen to lure Cech back to France. Real Madrid are also interested and all three are ready to step up their pursuit.

Meanwhile, Courtois has been warned he must become first-choice goalkeeper at Chelsea if he wants to continue as Belgium No 1. 

Despite choosing Courtois as Belgium's stopper for the World Cup in Brazil, national team coach Marc Wilmots has declared that the Chelsea man is not assured of his place if he cannot break into his club side. 

Wilmots said: 'Courtois will remain my No 1. But I know he could end up on the bench at Chelsea.

'In that case I will re-assess.'
