According to goal.com, Mourinho has already told
Mikel that he will be sold as he targets another
midfielder to challenge Namanja Matic.
The blues are said to be interested in Alex Witsel of
Zenit st. Petersburg to replace the super eagles
midfielder and Baba Rahman, who has impressed in
Bundesliga in the past two seasons.
26 years old Witsel, is eager to leave Zenit for a new
challenge after winning the Russian Premier League
with the club and Andres Villas Boas.
The Belgian midfielder has previously stated that he
would appreciate a move to Juventus, but the old
lady signed Sami Khedira which means a move to
Italy will not be happening.
Mourinho wants Chelsea to build on their league
triumph and sees Witsel as a direct replacement for
Mikel.
Mourinho and Witsel are both represented by super
agent, Jorge Mendes, which means a move for the
big Belgian is feasible.
Witsel cost Zenit €40 million when he signed from
Benfica in 2012.
Also, Chelsea are considering a swoop for
Augsburg left-back, 20 year old Baba Rahman,
who has been impressive in Germany.
Another report also indicates that Mourinho could
be interested in signing Manchester United flop,
Radamel Falcao after admitting that he would like
to restore the striker to his former glory.
Earlier this week, Mikel’s agent announced that
the midfielder could be moving to a Dubai based
club, Al Ain.
He said: “It is now left for Chelsea and the Dubai
club Al Ain to agree on a transfer fee.”
