Cole considering Barca & Milan offers
Former England left-back Ashley Cole is mulling
over moves to Barcelona or AC Milan.
Cole, who was released by Chelsea at the end of
last season, has offers from both clubs.
Barcelona are struggling to fill the left-back position
and relied on Brazilian Adriano towards the end of
last season.
But it remains a problem position following the sale
of Eric Abidal to Monaco last summer and Cole has
been targeted by new manager Luis Enrique.
Milan are also on the lookout for new players after
Filippo Inzaghi was brought in to replace Clarence
Seedorf as the club’s new coach.
Many at Chelsea believe Cole, regarded as one of
the best left backs of all time, got a raw deal from
Jose Mourinho last season.
He got back into the team for the Champions
League clash with Atletico Madrid in the Vicente
Calderon, but failed to convince Mourinho to keep
him.
At the age of 33 Cole still believes he has plenty to
offer and had hoped to remain in the Barclays
Premier League.
He retired from international football when England
head coach opted to take Leighton Baines and
Southampton left-back Luke Shaw to the World Cup.
