The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) Twitter account reportedly posted a message announcing the arrival of English international left-back Ashley Cole in the summer. However, the post was deleted a few minutes after its publication, and the club later stated that their Twitter account was hacked. The explanation of the hacking does not necessarily discredit the ongoing rumors about PSG’s interest in Ashley Cole.
According to reports, supporters of Chelsea, where Cole was playing at the time, expressed their desire for him to stay during a match against Manchester City, singing, “Ashley Cole, we want you to stay.” At the time of the report, Ashley Cole, who was 31 years old, had played 11 matches and scored one goal in the Premier League for Chelsea that season. The situation highlights the sensitivity and speculation surrounding potential player transfers, especially when it involves high-profile football clubs.
