John Obi Mikel’s future at Chelsea seems uncertain, and it looks like Real Madrid might be a potential destination for the Nigerian midfielder. Despite playing a limited role this season under José Mourinho, Mikel has attracted the interest of top clubs, with Real Madrid reportedly keen on bolstering their midfield options for the next season.
Real Madrid is said to be exploring multiple options in the midfield, with other names like Thiago Motta (PSG) and Geoffrey Kondogbia (Monaco) also on their radar. However, Mikel‘s availability due to limited playing time at Chelsea makes him a more feasible option for the Spanish giants.
Chelsea, on their part, would not stand in the way of Mikel’s departure, especially with the Nigerian’s contract situation and reduced role at the club. With the increasing competition in midfield at Stamford Bridge, Mikel might see a move as the best opportunity to revive his career, and Real Madrid could be the perfect setting for the 28-year-old to continue his career at the highest level.
This possible move would be an interesting shift in Mikel’s career, potentially marking a step up to a new challenge, especially at a club as prestigious as Real Madrid.
