Ancelotti: Cole not for sale

(GSM) – Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has dismissed reports that a multi-million pound offer would tempt Chelsea to sell reported Real Madrid target Ashley Cole.

Reports in the Sunday editions of media suggested that the England left-back had already met with the Italian manager for 20 minutes regarding discussions about his future last week, where he is believed to have said that he desired to quit Stamford Bridge.

New Real boss Jose Mourinho, who signed Cole from Arsenal in 2006, is looking to sign the former Arsenal player as looks to revolutionize the Santiago Bernabéu tennants.

The 29-year-old is reportedly keen to move to Spain in order to escape the attention he receives both on and off the field in England, but Ancelotti has no intention of selling.

“Ashley Cole will not be sold at any price,” said the Chelsea boss after a 2-1 pre-season friendly defeat to Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany.

“There is no price that we would sell him at. We believe he is the best left-back in the world and because of this he will stay at this club.

“Nothing has changed in our position. Everyone can forget about Ashley Cole leaving this club.”
