According to the Metro, the Potters are ready to put the Bosnian on the market, as Mark Hughes believes youngster Jack Butland is ready to become the club’s no.1.
Begovic has just one-year remaining on his current contract, and the player himself reportedly wants to leave the Britannia Stadium at the end of the season having had his mind swayed by the interest of top clubs in Europe.
With Petr Cech’s future at Stamford Bridge uncertain, Blues boss Jose Mourinho may view the affordable 27-year-old as an ideal replacement to the Czech Republic international.
