Agent Confirms Inter Milan, Spanish Team Are Interested In Mikel But Leaves Out Marseille

John Obi Mikel’s agent John Shittu has confirmed that his client is attracting interest from Inter Milan and a number of teams based in England, Germany, Spain and China ahead of the opening of the transfer window.

It has been widely reported that Marseille are studying the possibility of signing the Nigerian captain but his English-based intermediary did not mention France as one of his possible destinations next month.

“It’s very likely he will leave Chelsea in January. There are many teams interested in the player, ” Shittu told The Sun UK.

“In the past we spoke with Inter Milan but now there are a lot of Italian clubs that want him. I will not reveal the names, but there are other Italians teams on his trail.

“And beware: even in UK, Spain, Germany and even in China know the value of the player and requested information about him.” 

Mikel has played 376 games for the Blues and has netted six goals.
