Ashley Cole will reportedly travel to Italy this week to discuss a proposed move to Roma.

The former Chelsea defender has been heavily linked with a move to the Serie A side, while his agent has confirmed that he has been in talks with a number of overseas clubs.

According to Goal.com, the 33-year-old will fly out to Rome tomorrow to finalise a free transfer to the club, including a two-year contract with a £38,000-per-week salary.

Cole is a free agent after turning down a new contract at Stamford Bridge, where he has spent the last eight years.
