Roma make Chelsea No1 Cech their top keeper target

AS Roma management have big plans to overhaul their goalkeeping stocks.

With Morgan de Sanctis currently No1, Roma management are waiting to hear from the veteran if he intends to play on next season or hang up his gloves.

Meanwhile, Roma sports chief Walter Sabatini is scouring Europe for a long-term replacement - with Chelsea keeper Petr Cech a priority target.

The Czech Republic international has admitted he won't tolerate playing second fiddle to Thibaut Courtois this season and instead will seek to move on.

Sabatini knows Roma cannot match his €5 million-a-year contract demands, but the guarantee of being the club's outright No1 could tempt the 32 year-old.

In reserve, Roma are happy to stick with young Pole Lukasz Skorupski, though are considering Udinese keeper Simone Scuffet as an alternative.
