Ashley Cole is ready to quit England out of respect to Chelsea fans. The Daily Mail says although Cole could stay in the Barclays Premier League, he wants to move away from England after failing to agree a new deal at Stamford Bridge.
AC Milan, who finished eighth in Serie A last season, are among a number of clubs interested in the former England left back, including Monaco, who could offer him a massive tax-free contract.
Cole's £130,000-a-week deal at Chelsea has come to an end and he is available on a free transfer.
