Ashley Cole asks Ancelotti to let him leave for Real Madrid!

The worst has happened. It is being reported this morning that Ashley Cole has spoken to Carlo Ancelotti, and told him that he wants to leave England to get away from the flak over his acrimonious, and very public, divorce from Cheryl Cole.

A “source” told Sport of the World this morning: “It was a very amicable meeting, but Ashley made it clear that because of his personal situation he feels it is in his best interests to leave the club.

“He told Ancelotti that he will be very sad to leave and that it had been a privilege playing for the club during such a successful time in its history.”

“Ashley was told that he would have to go and see the chairman, which he hasn’t done yet and he has not handed in a formal transfer request.

“He knows Ancelotti wants him to stay, but he feels that moving abroad is the only way he can escape the attention after what happened with Cheryl and the other stories about his private life.”

Jose Mourinho is now certain to put in a bid for Cole, and if he does, Chelsea will lose one of our best players………
