Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi will earn €1.5m (N607m) per season at his new club Trabzonspor, Sports Extra has reliably scooped.

Mikel, 32, signed a two-year deal with the option of an additional 12 months joined the Turkish club this summer in a deal that will earn him over €150,000 a week.

The former Chelsea and Middlesbrough will be the highest-earning Nigerian player in Turkey based on basic salary.

“He got a good deal I must confess,” a source, who brokered the deal, disclosed to Sports Extra.

“€1.5m per season for his age, wealth of experience and pedigree earned him that lucrative contract at that age.

Mikel, who has made two appearances for the Eagles at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, will link up with his compatriots Ogenyi Onazi and Anthony Nwakaeme at Trabzonspor, who will compete in next season’s Europa League after finishing fourth in 2018/19 season.

The midfielder made 249 Premier League appearances for Chelsea in an 11-year spell, winning two league titles, three FA Cups, the UEFA Champions League and the Europa League.

He also featured in two World Cups and helped the Super Eagles win the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.

Mikel, who will retire from international football after the AFCON tournament made his Nations Cup debut in Egypt in 2006.

This your grammar nawa ooooooo

Noted

€1.5 m is not Mikel's salary but bonus.
He will earn that bonus if he plays a certain number of games during the season. This is because many over-30's are always a liability after contact signing.

€1.5m per annum salary will mean he now earns less than €30k per week. This is far less than what Boro was paying him

Nigerian bloggers don't even think their LIE through before rushing to publish.

just when I thought of going into football I dreamt sitting and training together with Dele Alli

I need no other proofs God has answered my prayers already

Bad move.

Mikel cannot match the pace of the Turkish League.

Italian League would have been better for him.


Well, he's at the end of his career.

Just pack the money and retire.

jehova...... my child must play football

pension

He has paid his dues

That is approximately 51 million naira per month.

12.5 million naira per week.

Uncle E (wherever you are), just know that I am still yet to forget how you convinced my mother against sending me to Pepsi Academy that year.

It shows he is still valuable

hmmn

Spendinq that amount of money on a waste bin is a very bad idea...

Op I'm not understanding.

150k per week ×52 weeks will give you 7.8m yearly.
How then did you come up with 1.5m?

Whoa ho ho ho that's a lot of money
