Real still chasing Cole

Real Madrid want Arsenal's Ashley Cole to replace Roberto Carlos at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Brazilian left-back is now in the twilight years of a glittering career.

And he's recently been linked with a move away from the Spanish capital - notably to Turkish giants Fenerbahce and cash-rich Qatar.

And Real see England ace Cole as the perfect man to replace him next season.

Arsenal want to keep Cole but according to Spanish daily Marca the player himself wants to leave England and sees Real as the perfect destination.

Los Galacticos are hoping an offer of 15 million Euros (around £10million) would be enough to prise him away from the Gunners.

But that price could rise if Cole has a successful World Cup finals, a fact which could see Real trying to get a deal done before then.
