Iker Casillas says 'signs are good' for Ashley Cole move to Real Madrid
Ashley Cole is reported to be close to moving to Spain.
Chelsea's Ashley Cole is reported to be closing in on a £30m deal to move to Real Madrid, according to the Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
The left-back Cole recently split with wife Cheryl and was found to be sending a message to pals saying he hated England and the people.
"From what I am hearing the signs look good," the Sun quoted the 29-year-old as saying.
"I have only briefly spoken to people at the club but I am confident he can be a Real Madrid player next year. I think it will be the right move for him both professionally and personally.
"A clean break from England is hopefully something he is very interested in. It will be his last big contract and who better to sign for than his old coach Mourinho at Real."
