Ashley Cole inches closer to Real Madrid move from Chelsea
CHELSEA defender Ashley Cole is reportedly closing in on a move to Real Madrid.
The fee is expected to be £8m, and would represent a huge blow for the Blues.
Cole, who has been part of the spine of Chelsea for the past six seasons, is wanted by his ex boss Jose Mourinho.
This could prompt an exodus of players leaving Stamford Bridge, who are ready for pastures new.
Abramovich appears reluctant to extend Cole’s contract by more than a year.
Cole has played 185 games for Chelsea.
