The future of Nigerian midfielder,John Obi Mikel has been in the news,with the latest being that Turkish clubside,Galatasaray have come to once again inquire for his availability.
It is understood that Galatasaray made a bid of £10million for Mikel,but are yet to get a feedback from Chelsea.
Mikel has been under the radar of the Turkish champions,who have not hidden their intentions to sign the 26-year old Nigerian.
Italian side,Napoli have also shown interest in signing Mikel,but are yet to follow up their interest with a firm offer.
Mikel has seen his position drastically change at Chelsea,with the array of midfield options at the club.
He still has a lengthy contract at Chelsea,but the Londoners might be willing to cash in on him,which would also suit Mikel who is in search of first team football.
After the Confederations Cup in Brazil,Mikel was quoted to have said by Turkish paper Fanatik: “I have a four-year contract with Chelsea but you know, in football you can never guess,” he said
“One day you are here, the next day you might leave.”
If Mikel eventually goes to Turkey,he would swell the already increasing number of Nigerian players there : Joseph Yobo,Emmanuel Emenike,Kalu Uche and most recently Godfrey Oboabona.
