Poulsen’s move to Liverpool in the air & Ashley Cole wants to join Real Madrid
Juventus player Christian Poulsen is yet to receive any official contact from Liverpool, according to the agent of the Danish player.
There had been speculation that the Danish player was well on his way to Anfield, he was believed to be a replacement for Javier Mascherano who is on his way to Inter Milan.
The Argentinan Mascherano had earlier put in a request to leave the club. He wants to reunite with his former manager Rafael Benitez who is now in charge of Inter Milan.
Poulsen has long been linked with several clubs; he is believed to be frustrated by lack of first team football at Juventus.
The Player’s agent Joern Bonnesen said that he has read the news in newspapers about Liverpool being interested in signing his client, but still he has not received an official approach from Anfield. He said that regarding Poulsen leaving Juventus he also is not certain. He said that the club has not shown any signs of agreeing to let him go, and neither has the player requested to leave as yet. When asked whether Poulsen will be given a first team spot next season, he said he does not know and would not like to comment on that.
The agent finally said that everything is in the air for now. Poulsen’s move to Liverpool is not official by any means and neither is the news that he is leaving Juventus.
Another player who wants to make a switch is Chelsea defender Ashley Cole. He is believed to have expressed his desire to leave the club, and has shown interest in joining his former coach Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid.
Ashley Cole met the Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti during a practice session and said that he wants to leave. The defender had a 20 minute chat with the manager and said that he has loved every moment of being part of Chelsea, but now he believes that it is time for him to move.
The England international has been distracted by the ugly break up with the famous pop star Cheryl. He said that he wants to leave England and have a fresh start. Cole is reportedly more interested in a move to Real Madrid to play under his former boss.
It is reported that Ashley Cole, in his meeting with Ancelotti, said that he does not have any problems with him or the club; he said that he has immense love for his club but it is his personal life that he wants to get in order. Cole said that he needs a new challenge in a new country to have a fresh start to his career.
Real Madrid on the other hand are believed to be ready to snatch Ashley Cole. The Spanish giants are reportedly preparing a 25 million pound bid and waiting for the right time to make their move.
Chelsea Manager Ancelotti however has made it clear that he will want his defender to stay; the Italian added that Cole is an integral part of the team and will be sorely missed if he leaves. However, the manager said that if the player wants to leave it is his own decision and the club will respect that.
Ashley Cole moved to Chelsea after a controversial transfer saga that started with Arsenal alleging Chelsea of tapping up Cole without the permission of Arsenal. He was also tagged as Cashley Cole by the Arsenal fans. In the end however he became a Chelsea player and spent 3 seasons at Chelsea winning one Premier League and 2 FA Cups.
