Super Eagles’ midfielder, John Obi Mikel, faces a battle to stay with Chelsea as Turkish giants, Galatasaray, have offered the Nigerian a bumper deal.
Reports claim that the African Nations Cup winner is irking at making a switch to Turkey in a £13 million deal.
The Nigerian midfielder only signed a new five-year contract in December and has never expressed any desire to leave London.
But the return of Jose Mourinho has cast doubts over Mikel’s long-term future and opened the door for Galatasaray to make their move.
Mikel, 26, bought for £16 million eight years ago, fell out with Mourinho over his poor time-keeping during the Special One’s first spell in charge at Stamford Bridge.
