Chelsea goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini is reportedly unhappy at Stamford Bridge after seeing a possible transfer blocked by the Blues.

The 33-year-old Italian is interesting both Newcastle United and Manchester City, having played second fiddle to Petr Cech for the last three seasons with Jose Mourinho's side.

Cudicini's agent, Fernando Pastorello, told the Daily Mail: "Carlo is not happy.

"He had an opportunity to leave and play a bit more but Chelsea said no.

"They told him he had to stay because there was not enough time to find a new goalkeeper to replace him.

"Carlo thinks it is time for him to play a bit more. At Chelsea he expects to be the second choice, but when you get the chance to play it is something you have to be interested in."

Cudicini joined Chelsea in the summer of 1999, initially on loan, from Castel Di Sangro and has gone on to make nearly 200 first-team appearances for the London club.
