JUVENTUS Offers Chelsea 15m Pounds For Mikel

JUVENTUS are looking to Chelsea for a midfield reinforcement with their reported 15m pounds which is about 3.7b naira bid for Super Eagles stars John Obi Mike. The 24-year-old powerhouse is considered a good bodyguard along side the more creative Andrea Pirlo. According to newspaper Chelsea have slapped a 15m pounds price-tag on the Nigerian, who no longer fits into their plans under Andre Villas Boas. There are some problems, though, he does not have an EU passport, so would take up the only slot reserved for new sigings this summer. Serie A sides are limited to just one non EU player to be brought in from outside the league. Meanwhile, the deal may see the light of the day as a wire source has peculated that Mikel is the fall guy that must give way at Stamford bridge if Real Madrid's midfielder pepe is to be recruited for the new European season which begins in August. Footymad went further to state that i know but it sounds good Chelsea are looking to raid Real Madrid for defensive midfielder Pepe.
