The Daily Mail says that 'Joe Cole fears a complete breakdown in his relationship with Roman Abramovich will result in the midfielder leaving Chelsea at the end of the season.'
According to their account of the matter, talks over a new deal have collapsed after 'Cole and his representatives infuriated the Russian with their hardline stance in contract negotiations'.
'Cole has no desire to leave Stamford Bridge after seven largely successful years at the club. But the negotiations stalled over the England winger's demands and there seems little chance of them being revived,' it continues.
Somewhat predictably, Tottenham, because they are under the management of Harry Redknapp, are touted as a possible destination for Cole, 'while there could also be interest from Manchester United, Liverpool and possibly even Manchester City.'
