He didn't confirm. He said if it's true it's good news.

Mikel wants to leave #CFC because he's not getting regular football but has been told they don't want to sell him (via @SkySportsAmy)

What the F*********

Because if we want to sell him we won't get as much for him...

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Thats what Asamoah Gyan said: "I heard it this week that Mikel has agreed terms with Al Ain and will most definitely be playing for us next season"

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Think Jose will try to keep hold of him. Hard to find a cheaper experienced reliable backup.

alex song

I was a HUGE fan of Song during his Arsenal days but I'm not sure of his level now. Plus even he would cost more than Mikel who is 75k/wk and costs nothing on transfer fees because of how long he's been here.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Just thinking: Sky were the outlet who linked us to Song, and now they are saying we dont want to sell Mikel.

I hope its just "Not selling until we find a replacement" or "Not selling pay us some more money".

If Mikel wants to leave he can only if he wants to leave to Arsenal? "who the fuck are Al Ain?! were not selling to non-rival bulshit team..."

John Obi Mikel 'to join Al Ain in United Arab Emirates'

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/11693523/Chelsea-transfer-news-John-Obi-Mikel-to-join-Al-Ain-in-United-Arab-Emirates.html

[The Mak 4,459]

Moving to Al Ain confirms everything I have ever thought about Mikel.

[Madmax 9,219]

Al Ain are loaded - apparently Gyan makes about £115k p/w (!)

Should definitely get a decentish fee here.

My @AlAinFC source has confirmed John Obi Mikel will join from @ChelseaFC subject to medical. Echoes @ASAMOAH_GYAN3's comments on TV.

All that's left to be determined is whether he'll have Obi Mikel or Mikel Obi on the back of his shirt @ChelseaFC @alainfcae

One more bit of info on John Obi Mikel @AlAinFC move. Don't be surprised if it's a loan move. He's only 28 and Mourinho happy to keep him.

He writes for ESPN, and he's "Middle East correspondent" for TalkSport.

Shouldn't take 'news' from Arabic clubs too seriously.

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

no point in loaning him out,if Jose would be happy to keep him only a transfer fee will do to get him away and quite sad if Mikel is content to essentially retire from competitive football at 28 by going to a league of that level of competition.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

To be honest, I'm not sure what Mikel has to offer anywhere else lmao. He has a ton of experience, which is the only reason I see clubs really taking a punt on him.
