John Mikel Obi’s time at Chelsea seems to
be up. His manager, Jose Mourinho, has
repeatedly said that he is interested in buying
one more midfielder to add more spine to his
team and the most obvious casualty is the
28-year-old Nigerian.
According to goal.com, Mourinho has already told
Mikel that he will be sold as he targets another
midfielder to challenge Namanja Matic.
The blues are said to be interested in Alex Witsel
of Zenit st. Petersburg to replace the super eagles
midfielder and Baba Rahman, who has impressed
in Bundesliga in the past two seasons.

26 years old Witsel, is eager to leave Zenit for a
new challenge after winning the Russian Premier
League with the club and Andres Villas Boas.
The Belgian midfielder has previously stated that
he would appreciate a move to Juventus, but the
old lady signed Sami Khedira which means a move
to Italy will not be happening.
Mourinho wants Chelsea to build on their league
triumph and sees Witsel as a direct replacement
for Mikel.
Mourinho and Witsel are both represented by
super agent, Jorge Mendes, which means a move
for the big Belgian is feasible.
Witsel cost Zenit €40 million when he signed from
Benfica in 2012.
Also, Chelsea are considering a swoop for
Augsburg left-back, 20 year old Baba Rahman,
who has been impressive in Germany.
Another report also indicates that Mourinho could
be interested in signing Manchester United flop,
Radamel Falcao after admitting that he would like
to restore the striker to his former glory.
Earlier this week, Mikel’s agent announced that
the midfielder could be moving to a Dubai based
club , Al Ain.
He said: “It is now left for Chelsea and the Dubai
club Al Ain to agree on a transfer fee.”
