Arsenal have reportedly asked for £25million for the 25-year-old England defender, and Chelsea claim they will not buy unless the price drops.
A Chelsea statement read: "Chelsea FC has been in discussions with Arsenal Football Club for some time over the possible transfer of Ashley Cole.
"Chelsea has made a very substantial offer for the player. Although discussions have continued, Arsenal's valuation of the player does not match Chelsea's and therefore no agreement can be reached in the current circumstances."
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho on Tuesday night urged Arsenal to make up their minds about the potential transfer of Cole before the end of the week.
However the club's stance has now hardened, and Chelsea could consider other options at left-back, where they are short of competition for Wayne Bridge.
An official offer has been submitted to Arsenal, and Mourinho said last night: "It is in their hands and we have to wait.
"What can I do? Arsenal has an offer from Chelsea. If they accept, they
accept, if they don't accept, they don't.
"If Arsenal decide to sell the player, that is okay. But the player belongs
to Arsenal, we cannot do anything about it.''
Mourinho declared himself ready to look elsewhere, and that could mean
renewing his interest in Real Madrid veteran Roberto Carlos, who only last week turned down the chance to join Fenerbahce and committed himself to the Spanish club for a further 12 months.
"We are waiting for decisions but we have other options. We cannot play a whole season only with Wayne Bridge,'' Mourinho said on Tuesday.
"If we have no solution about Ashley Cole in a couple of days, we turn the
corner and we see other faces.
"Yes there is a space in our squad for another left-back because we only have one real left-back.''
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has called for Cole's future to be sorted out "one way or the other'' by the end of the week.
The player has criticised Arsenal's handling of the tapping-up saga which engulfed both the Gunners and Chelsea, in his forthcoming autobiography.
And he was not included in the Arsenal squad for Tuesday's first leg of
their Champions League qualifier against Dinamo Zagreb, which the Gunners won 3-0.
Wenger stressed that was more to do with the defender's lack of full match fitness, however, rather than the issue of cup-tying a player on the brink of being sold.
"I do not know what will happen with Ashley Cole in the next few days, but
for me certainly the deadline has come now to make a decision one way or the other,'' said Wenger on Monday.
"This week is the last limit I can expect something to happen.''
Speaking to BBC Radio London, the Arsenal manager added: "It is better because it gets the player settled again and their mind on the team. That is what you want.''
Cole could now start the season with Arsenal, even though he seems reluctant to remain at the Emirates Stadium.
He barely played at first-team level last season due to a series of injuries, but was in the team beaten by Barcelona in the Champions League final and was then an ever-present for England at the World Cup.
