Turkish Topflight league side Trabzonspor says it has reached a mutual agreement with former Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel to part ways on mutual consent.



Mikel Joined the Turkish side as a free agent on a two year deal after a short spell with English Championship side Midlesbrough

The Former Chelsea player has been instrumental to Trabzonspor's way to the top this season playing 19 games and giving a good account of himself.



The mutual agreement is believed to be unconnected with Mikel's insistence that the Turkish FA follow the trend and postpone the ongoing Season due to the outbreak of Coronavirus virus.



The English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, Italian Serie A, French Ligue 1, Dutch Eredivise among other global tournaments have been postponed due to the pandemic.



The Turkish club however confirmed that the former Nigerian captain forfeited his wages which he would have earned if he saw out his contract.

life is more important than football

There's a difference between postponing and canceling... Those calling for cancelation are heartless and inconsiderate of the effort everyone had put in before the crisis. People should know better.

Not saying the league should go on despite the crisis but not cancelation rather postponing to later date makes more sense.
