The report is coming only days after his agent denied the player is interested in moves away from Stamford Bridge. A report in the Daily Mail said that the Nigeria star, 26, wants to leave because he has found first-team opportunities restricted since manager Jose Mourinho’s return last summer.
The January arrival of Nemanja Matic, an important addition in a holding role, has further limited Mikel’s chances. But he still has three years on his contract and the Blues would demand a hefty fee.
Galatasaray have expressed firm interest but the Super Eagles midfielder wants to weigh up his options.
Mikel joined Chelsea from Norwegian club Lyn Oslo in 2006, and has made more than 300 appearances, winning the Champions League, Europa League, Premier League and four FA Cups with the side.
