At the peak of his sale stories last season, it was suggested that the midfielder would be available for a cut-price fee of £5m to any of the Italian clubs, but particularly Inter Milan.
However, the club has moved quickly to dispel any such rumours with it being confirmed, by a source close to the player that the Nigerian is staying with the source remarking,
“Although Mikel is not first choice, he’s the first person Jose turns to when he wants a particular job done. The manager knows he can just slot him in there and he`ll do a great job. Jose (Mourinho) has told Mikel he is still part of his plans for next season,” a British news portal, Vitalfootball reported.
Mikel will be eligible to become a British citizen by October and it has been explained that the opportunity for the Nigerian was also put into the equation.
