Chelsea Defender Cole Linked To Real Madrid Move With Mourinho


Ashley Cole is set to link up with his former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid, according to the Daily Express.

Mourinho is on the verge of taking his Inter Milan side through to their first final of Europe's top club competition since 1972. Nonetheless, whatever the outcome of Wednesday night’s Champions League semi-final against Barcelona, the Daily Express claims that Mourinho has told Inter chiefs that this will be his last season at the San Siro.

The self-proclaimed 'special one' is set to take over at Real Madrid, unless one of England's top clubs, such as Liverpool or Manchester United comes calling, says the Daily Mail.

Should he take over at the Bernebeu, one of his first tasks will be to find a quality left-back, given the unimpressive form this season of Alvaro Arbeloa. The Daily Mail speculates that Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole will be one of Mourinho's immediate targets. The England international has endured a well-publicized problematic season both on and off the pitch and has only just returned to the Chelsea side from a broken foot.

Mourinho and Cole of course know each other well from their time together at Stamford Bridge and the Portuguese coach may well seek to surround himself with familiar players should he end up at Real Madrid .
