Super Eagles Captain Mikel Obi Gets Offer To Revive Career At Valencia

Valencia sporting director, Jesus Garcia Pitarch, has held talks with unsettled Nigerian captain, John Mikel Obi  and offered the Chelsea midfielder a chance to revive his career at Valencia.

Mikel Obi, who will become a free agent in summer, has not played any game under new manager, Antonio Conte.

But there is a possibility that the London club may allow him leave during the January window if he decides to take the offer.

Garcia Pitarch said, as reported in Superdeporte: “In the case of Obi Mikel, with Chelsea’s permission, I met with him in London on Christmas day.

“I informed him of the option [of joining Valencia]. He said he would think about it.”

Valencia are fighting to avoid relegation and are currently 17th in La Liga.
