Nigerian boss Gernot Rohr has revealed that Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel is in advanced talks with French club Marseille as he is eyeing a free transfer to Ligue 1 next summer.
The 29-year old is currently in the last year of his contract at Stamford Bridge and has struggled for game time this season under Conte. He will be eligible to sign a pre-contract in January ahead of free transfer next summer.
“I saw him in London. He is in advanced discussions with Marseille,” Rohr told Europe 1.
“Chelsea will allow him to leave for free. It is a serious option for him.”
