The Nigerian international midfielder has a contract with the Blues until June 2017, but is struggling for playing time.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, Chelsea representatives are desperately trying to offload Mikel to an Italian club this summer.

Considering the lack of interest in the 27-year-old, they have lowered their asking price to just €6m – around £4.8m.

However, there are still no apparent takers for the man who has been at Stamford Bridge since 2006.
