As reported by Tuesday's edition of Turin based sports daily Tuttosport, Napoli instead of Galatasaray could be the next destination of Nigeria international John Obi Mikel.

Chelsea are eyeing the Uruguay forward Edinson Cavani, who is rated in the region of 63 million euros, in the summer transfer window.

To meet the valuation of Cavani, the leadership of the Europa League champions will include either Obi Mikel or Ramires as makeweight in the deal.

Just last week, Chelsea officially dismissed suggestions that Obi Mikel was set to join Turkish champions Galatasaray.

The 26 - year - old midfielder was the standout performer for the Nigeria selection at the ongoing Fifa Confederations Cup.

Please no Cavani.

That will be a lateral move at best - Torres to Cavani.

Chelsea can win the league now with what she has (Torres, Ba, Schurle, Baby Drogba).

Now if you can get Rooney or RVP, then we can talk. They way Chelsea is constituted now, they do not need their CF to carry the bulk of the scoring load as Mata, Edin and Oscar will all score at least 10 league goal this coming season. So All you need from the other CF forward is a 10-15 goal season for your top CF. Is that worth 63 million Euros?

NO!!!

PS. Morever, Cavani is softer than a feather packed pillow.

Cavani is the best striker in the world.

I agree with Catalyst. It is not necessary to go with buys like what PaJ hallucinates in his free time off the medications.

IT'S TIME FOR OBI TO MOVE ON (TO A GOOD CLUB) IF....


...Mourinho is going to use him like he did b4. The Obi that played in Brazil is the one that people love and are used to. And it's Obi's strength. Yes he learned something as a DM but it's time to play his true position and achieve his real potential while he's still young.

FYI - Chelsea helped Nigeria win her first ANC in close to 20 years.

If Mikel did not make those key defensive stops against CIV and against Burkina, where would we have been now? Also the exposure of playing big EPL and UCL games gives him the leverage to approach big games without fear or awe of the moment.

PS. Mikel will stay with Chelsea. But lets just say he goes some where else, for the sake of discussion, he is smart and gifted enough to thrive in whatever situation he finds himself.

I don't know what to say here but I think Cavani from what I ve seen so far in the conf. cup, he is not what the asking price. Even himself knows that. I prefer Hulk to him right now, I prefer Rooney to him and I also prefer Falcao, but he is gone to Monaco but we still have Hulk and Rooney in our raid. Cavani to me need to drop the money down if not he will sure remain with Napoli next season.

Ironically, Mourinho, who only had Mikel for just 1 season used him more expansively than the other 7 or so CFC managers combined and the last time he scored was when Jose was the coach. Jose used him at DM a little more than half the time while he played CM for the rest. The other managers exclusively used mikel at DM 100% of the time. Another 'Jose shackles mikel' myth debunked.

Galatasaray would have worked because the target was schneider but apparently schneider did not want a move to Chelsea.

.. and you are assuming that mikel who has 4 years left on his contract, wants to move to Galatasaray. If mikel equally says 'no' there's no deal regardless of how sneijder feels.

I do not see how Cavani is a batter striker than Torres or Ba. All this na just speculation abeg.

[Enyi]

He might end up in italy.........

Inter will go for him if their number one target in midfield fails to materialise, thats what their ***** ***** clued at in portugal

It's really because you don't watch soccer.
