Troubled Cole set for Spain?

Ashley Cole’s marriage to pop star wife Cheryl may have hit the skids and his Chelsea career could soon be a thing of the past, but there is an escape for star left-back with La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid both ready to snap up the England international. Recent revelations about a string of sleazy affairs, have seen Cole’s life fall apart with Chelsea at best threatening to fine him £400,000 or at worst boot him out of the club. But now Real and Barca are prepared to pay £25m to get a player they have both long coveted. The 29-year-old, who many regard as the best left-back in world football, could expect to earn up to £150,000 a week in Spain.
