Chelsea Star, John Obi Mikel Snubs MASSIVE Offer

Chelsea of London and Super Eagles of Nigeria midfielder, John Mikel Obi has reportedly snubbed a massive move to Turkey in anticipation of a contract extension at the Stamford Bridge. According to reports in The Sun UK on Saturday, the Super Eagles captain rejected the chance to earn N49.5million (£110k) -a-week at Galatasaray or Fenerbahce. The tabloid reports that “Galatasaray and Fenerbahce were keen on the midfielder, 29, with a reported £110,000-a-week on the table in January but he chose to stay at the Bridge.” Mikel had fallen out of favour with manager, Jose Mourinho before the Portuguese tactician was sacked in December, but has been a regular in the first team under interim manager, Guus Hiddink. Antonio Conte takes over in the summer and Mikel’s form has paved the way for him to be part of the Italian’s plans. The Nigerian has been at Chelsea for ten years and has a year left on his deal.
