Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has admitted he would be interested in a move to Spanish giants Barcelona at some point in his career.
The Czech Republic international, famously rated as a £50 million player by former manager Jose Mourinho, has been an integral part of the Blues team since joining in July 2004.
But in an interview on a Czech website, the 25-year-old said he would find it difficult to commit to English football for the rest of his career because of the lure of the Catalan giants.
"Can I imagine staying in England? That I cannot answer," he explained.
"So far I have been very happy at Chelsea and I have started to love the Premier League. I have got used to life in London and my wife and I like it.
"But in the case of Barcelona showing interest, yes, certainly it would be worth considering."
Cech has had something of a torrid time in recent months.
He missed a large proportion of last season with a fractured skull he sustained in a freak accident against Reading at the Madejski Stadium and is currently out of action, nursing a leg injury.
