| Mikel Obi and Ashley Cole |
AC Milan is weighing up moves for out-of-favour
Chelsea duo Ashley Cole and Mikel Obi as head coach Clarence Seedorf looks to
bolster his ailing
squad in the summer.
Cole’s current contract at Stamford Bridge
expires at the end of the season and his long-term future is uncertain after
falling behind Cesar Azpilicueta in Jose Mourinho’s affections.
The Portuguese boss is eager to keep the
33-year-old but Blues owner Roman Abramovich has yet to sanction a new deal,
prompting Cole to explore other options.
After watching his struggling Milan side record
an underwhelming victory over Catania on Sunday, Seedorf spoke of his desire to
strengthen his squad in the fullback positions, reports Goal.
“I’d prefer the likes of Cafu and Serginho on the
flanks, but we don’t have them!” he told reporters.
“(Daniele) Bonera has brought great balance to
the side, (Kevin) Constant is a midfielder, (Urby) Emanuelson has played as a
fullback a few times in his career, but we don’t really have a left back.”
Mikel is also a target, but any move for the
Nigerian this summer depends on whether Milan decides to sign Valencia loanee
Adil Rami and QPR midfielder Adel Taarabt on permanent deals.
