According to leaks gathered by allnigeriasoccer.com's Editorial staff, Istanbul giants Galatasaray have much work to do if they are really interested in signing Nigeria international John Obi Mikel in the summer transfer market.

At the moment, the Chelsea midfielder is NOT interested in pursuing a career with Galatasaray.

Having won the Champions League, Europa Cup, Premier League and FA Cup, for sporting reasons, a move to the Turkish champions may mark a downward SLIDE in Mikel's career.

The agents that are facilitating Obi Mikel's proposed transfer to the 19 - time champions of Turkey are doing everything possible to lure him to the Super League.

A reasonable OFFER thought to be around 25 million euros could force Chelsea to do business with Galatasaray.

But from all indications, it appears Mikel is staying put at Stamford Bridge.
