| Highly Rated: Fabio Coentrao in action for Portugal in 2010 World Cup |
Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has called suggestions he was eyeing Benfica left-back Fabio Coentrao as a replacement for Ashley Cole as "totally rubbish".There have been reports the Barclays Premier League champions and FA Cup winner would be prepared to sell England's international Cole to Real Madrid, with Portugal counterpart Coentrao drafted in.But Ancelotti dismissed this out of hand, saying: "It's not true, totally rubbish."
Cole has reportedly been unsettled at Stamford Bridge following recent revelations about his private life but Ancelotti has repeatedly insisted he has no intention of selling "the best left-back in the world".
But Ancelotti recently stated: "Everyone can forget the idea he will leave the club. There is no price that will make us sell."Michael Ballack, Joe Cole and Juliano Belletti have left Stamford Bridge, while Yossi Benayoun is the only senior arrival at the club after joining for an undisclosed amount from Liverpool.
