[Badboy 1,526]

Italian giants,AC Milan have moved in for Chelsea of England and Super Eagles holding midfielder,John Mikel Obi and are ready to prise him away from Roman Abramovich's club in July when the summer transfer window is opened.

Milan,which recently secured a loan deal with 33 year old David Beckham are beginning to inject young blood into a team of ageing legends and are desperate to exploit Chelsea's reluctance to discuss the Nigerian's contract extension talk.

Italian football website,Tutto reported yesterday that Milan have made enquiries about the player and are willing to splash as much as four million euros a year on him for his salary.

The website further reported that Milan are encouraged by Chelsea's dillydalying attitude on the former Lyn Oslo of Norway star.

Mikel should be honoured for it... considering AC Milian wants him.

I always feel he is just a decent midfielder.

If he could wack in a few nice shots that scores goals, I think he will even be more wonderful. The sad thing is he can;t.

Don't these crap journo's use brains before they come up with such trash.. I mean they just signed flamini in the summer and he barely makes the first 11, then they have gattuso, Emerson, and ambrosini, pirlo who alsop fill in the role sometimes...

The Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho is once again being reported to be planning to raid his old club Chelsea for a midfielder, but this time it is not Frank Lampard, it is John Obi Mikel.

The young Nigerian was bought by Mourinho while he was Chelsea manager, and now wants him to join the Italian champions.

Mikel has been in contract negotiations with Chelsea, but the two sides have so far failed to come to an agreement, and it seems that Mourinho is keen to hijack any further talks.

One paper has even gone so far as to say that Mikel and his agent have already agreed terms with the Italian giants, and they are just waiting for the season to end to finalise the deal.

hmm..

not sure about mikel, i guess it's worth keeping him because hes young but then again he wouldent be a huge loss allthough we need the bulk in midfield to keep the new managers options open

I'm undicided

I say definitely keep Mikel, he will only get better and it would be a shame to see him leave to Inter which I highly doubt. I thought Mikel already agreed with Chelsea to an extension?

Jose Mourinho is ready to raid former club Chelsea by making a £15million bid for midfielder John Obi Mikel.

The Inter Milan boss believes Chelsea will be ready to sell as part of a dramatic summer overhaul planned in the wake of their Champions League heartbreak.

Chelsea may be reluctant to sell Mikel to Mourinho.

The midfielder has made 44 starts this season, having enjoyed the longest first-team run of his Blues career, although he has failed to score a single goal at Stamford Bridge. But with cash needed to inject new blood into an ageing squad, Guus Hiddink might see Mikel as a saleable asset, especially as the African is far from a favourite with the Stamford Bridge fans.

Mourinho signed the Nigerian from Lyn Oslo in 2006 for an initial £4m after winning a transfer battle with Manchester United.

Chelsea subsequently paid United £12m in what was viewed as "hush money", although the contract Mikel is said to have signed was deemed illegal in a court case involving ex-Lyn supremo Morgan Andersen.

Well that sucks, he's probably one of our only youthful prospects besides Mancienne.

[EskWeston 696]

Not going to happen, Mikel is one hell of a talent. He is vital for us going forward and we build for the next few seasons. It would most certainly take more than £15m to take him away from us....

[riks12 3]

Can't let Mikel go.

He is young and already a great midfielder. With more experience he will surely become one of the best holding midfielders soon..
