put himself in the frame for
a fresh Chelsea deal
after
snubbing a massive move to
Turkey.
The Sun reported that
Turkish side Galatasaray
were keen on grabbing the
Super Eagles captain, with a
reported £110,000-a-week
on the table in January but
he chose to stay at the
Bridge. Another Turkish side
Fenerbahce, it was learnt,
are also offering similar
amount.
Mikel fell out of favour with
Chelsea former manager
Jose Mourinho but has
since been a regular in the
first team under caretaker
manager Guus Hiddink.
Mikel was also linked with a
move to Qatar at the peak
of his rejection by
Mourihno.
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 10 years and
has a year left on his deal.
Mikel, who became Nigeria
captain last month just
before the match against
Egypt, has rediscovered his
touch in recent weeks for
the Stamford Bridge team.
The midfielder scored
against Paris Saint-Germain
in the Champions League
quarter-final in February.
