Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart admires Ashley Cole over his decision to leave England for AS Roma.
The former Chelsea fullback is expected to start their Champions League tie against City.
Hart says he's not ready to follow former teammate Micah Richards to Italy, where he is now with Fiorentina.
"I have got a lot of respect for the boys who have done, Micah being closest to home for me," said Hart. "He seems to be loving it out there, but right now I am happy with what is going on at this club. We are fighting on all fronts. While I am welcome here, I am more than happy to stay here and see where that takes me."
