Cole may replace me, says Carlos
Brazilian defender Roberto Carlos believes Real Madrid may look to Arsenal's Ashley Cole as his replacement at the Bernabeu.
Speculation has linked Cole, 24, with the Spanish giants over the past year.
Carlos, 32, told The People: "I have heard lots of rumours about my future and Ashley Cole.
"The club has to look at other players because every position needs cover and Cole is a very good player, who would be a good replacement for me one day."
Carlos is happy at Real Madrid but knows that the expectation levels at the Bernabeu can lead to players feeling uncertain about their futures.
He added: "I love Real Madrid and would love to retire from football as a player at this club.
"I have a contract and I am happy working with the coach.
"But, as we saw with Luis Figo moving to Italy in the summer, you never know what is around the corner."
