DO YOU THINK MIKEL SHOULD JOIN REAL MADRID

Chelsea's Obi Mikel Talks Up Move To Real Madrid

If news making round the various media in Spain is anything to go by, John Obi Mikel could end his nine-year association with Chelsea in the summer, with the defensive midfielder confirming that Real Madrid are testing the waters regarding a move for him when the transfer window reopens.

The Nigeria international has announced that he will make a decision whether or not to severe ties with Chelsea at the end of this season.

With only four Premier League starts under his belt this season, everything indicates that manager Jose Mourinho will sanction his departure from Stamford Bridge if an interested club meets Chelsea's asking price especially as Kourt Zouma is been used in recent matches to seal up the midfield.

"After the season, he'll consider all his options and decide which is best for him."

It is thought that Sami Khedira's departure from the Santiago Bernabéu at the end of this season is a foregone conclusion, and Los Blancos chiefs have targeted Obi Mikel as his replacement.

 If this move sells through, Mikel will be competing with German international world cup winner Toni Kroos and Young talented spainish  international midfielder Ilaramendi.
