Real Madrid getting very close to signing £30 million Premier League star

Real Madrid appear to be getting ever closer to signing Chelsea defender Ashley Cole after the World Cup winning captain, Iker Casillas claimed: “From what I am hearing the signs look good.”

Cole, 29, has been strongly linked with a move to the Spanish giants in recent weeks following the much publicised problems in his personal life.

The Chelsea left-back is understood to be fed up with life in England and is keen to make the move to the Bernabeu to link up with former manager Jose Mourinho.

Real keeper, Casillas, also had this to say: “I have only briefly spoken to people at the club but I am confident that he can be a Real Madrid player next year. I think it will be the right move for him both professionally and personally.”

Personally, I would be more surprised if Cole was still a Chelsea player when the transfer window shuts at the beginning of September. Love him or hate him, you can’t deny that he is a world class left-back and in my opinion, he was one of the only England players who came out of the World Cup with his footballing reputation intact.

Your comments are always very welcome.

Both Chelsea and Real Madrid will be involved in the Champions League next season and here is a great place to buy yourself some Champions League tickets today. And with Chelsea involved in the Community Shield this season I am sure a lot of you will want to get yourself Community Shield tickets.
