John obi Mikel on the move

Galatasaray are preparing a bid for John Obi Mikel. They will wait until after Nigeria's involvement in the 2013 Confederations Cup to open talks.

The report estimates a minimum fee of £12 million and suggests the player is not itching to leave—it will be interesting to see how highly Jose Mourinho values one of his former charges.

Mikel has made more than 180 appearances for the club since joining in 2006.
