Currently on loan from Liverpool at LOSC Lille, England international, Joe Cole, might stay in Ligue 1 for another season with rumours linking him with a reunion with Carlo Ancelotti at PSG
England international, Joe Cole, has seen his performances improve considerably since joining Ligue 1 giants LOSC Lille on the last day of last summer’s transfer window. According to Daily Mail, Paris Saint-Germain have been impressed with how easily the
former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 man has adapted to Ligue 1.
Reports now claim that PSG sporting director, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056, is considering reuniting the midfielder with Carlo Ancelotti for whom Cole played during his time at Chelsea.
Last December, when rumours were in the air regarding Ancelotti’s arrival at PSG, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joe-Cole-c18694 praised his former manager and touted him for success at Parc des Princes.
“He is a great manager and I had a wonderful relationship with him. When he left Milan, players cried for him and the guys were like this when he left Chelsea. This is a wonderful man and he will succeed at PSG.”
Although Ancelotti wanted to keep hold of Cole at Chelsea, the Englishman did not want to take a pay cut and was thus sent to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 for free. However, the 30-year-old has revived his career at Lille and has become an integral part of Rudi Garcia’s side
whose main priority for the current campaign is to secure a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
Lille on the other hand, are also keen on holding on to the former West Ham star. With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eden-Hazard-c11863 sure to leave Villeneuve d’Ascq this summer, Rudi Garcia wants to have a player like Joe Cole in the squad.
Reports claim that Lille could consider signing the player from loan this summer. Liverpool don’t really want to keep Cole at the club and would be willing to part with him for just 6 million Euros which would be affordable for Lille especially as they are
expecting to receive a good amount for the transfer of Hazard.
However, Joe Cole earns 155,000 Euros per week – a price that Lille can’t really afford to pay which means that PSG might take advantage of their resources to finance a move for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international.
