Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole is set for contract talks with Real Madrid and Paris St. Germain, according to Mirror Football.

One of Chelsea’s key players since his move from Arsenal, Cole helped the club to their first Champions League win in May 2012. Cole, 32, looks increasingly likely to leave the club after the Blues have become reluctant to offer ageing stars long-term deals.

It seems Ashley Cole wants a three-year deal but Chelsea’s policy is one-year deals for over 30 year-olds.

The England international is free to speak with and sign a pre-contract agreement with a club outside the Premier League from January 1st. It is believed that Real Madrid and PSG are willing to offer Ashley Cole a three-year deal.
