Paris Saint-Germain prepare offer for Ashley Cole

French giants Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly preparing a pre-contract offer for Chelsea defender Ashley Cole.

The England full-back is out of contract at Stamford Bridge next summer and will be free to talk to clubs in January with a view to a free transfer.

PSG boss Carlo Ancelotti is a big admirer of Cole and plans to make him a substantial offer to join his French revolution, according to the Daily Mirror.

Contract talks between Cole and Chelsea have so far been fruitless, with the left-back refusing to enter discussions at this stage.

The 31-year-old remains a key part of Roberto Di Matteo's defence, and started yesterday's 2-1 win against his former club Arsenal to keep the Blues top of the Premier League table".
