Cole in talks with Liverpool, Real Madrid and Man City

Released Chelsea fullback Ashley Cole wants Champions League football next season.

The Sunday Mirror says Cole wants a ­two-year deal at a Champions League club - with Real Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester City all interested.

Cole, 33, is determined to prove he can still cut it at the highest level of European football following his release by Chelsea.

Real Madrid would be his most attractive option both ­financially and professionally, but Cole's representatives are waiting for the dust to settle on last night's Champions League Final before making a move.

Monaco, who return to the ­Champions League next season after finishing second in the French league, is also a potential destination.
