With the arrival of Jose Mourinho at Chelsea for a second stint, word out of England say that Turkish champions, Galatasaray are courting The Nigerian midfielder Mikel Obi to move to Turkey.

According to Goal.com, the Europa League champions have not made Mikel available, they could be swayed with a big-money move from any club for a player in his position.

“It is true that Galatasaray are interested. And if Chelsea see big money for a player in his position (defensive midfield), I am sure they will sell,” the source revealed.

Jose Mourinho was the one that brought the Nigerian to London after a battle with Manchester United in 2006.

Will Mikel want to leave the club where he has won multiple titles including the Champions League? I strongly doubt it. Time will tell.

Galatasaray signed Didier Drogba and Wesley Sneidjer last season to challenge in the Uefa Champions League and they reached the quarter final where they lost to Real Madrid.

Mikel will be on international duty with Nigeria where they will compete against Tahiti, Spain, and Uruguay. He is not expected to resume with Chelsea until July when the pre-season training will begin.
