The Australian has yet to feature for the Blues this season, and Goal.com claims that west London rivals Fulham have attempted to take the shotstopper on an emergency season-long loan.
However, it is reported that Jose Mourinho does not want to lose the veteran as question marks remain over the future of Cech, who has been linked with a January move to Roma.
The Stamford Bridge legend has lost his place in the starting XI to Courtois, and speaking to a Czech radio station, Cech admitted that he ail seek a solution in the upcoming transfer window.
