Super Eagles’ player, John Mikel Obi might be waving goodbye to Chelsea FC come January 2017 as he has been offered a whopping $212,000-a-week deal by Chinese club, Shanghai SIPG.


The  offer was made to the midfielder’s agent after Nigeria’s 3-1 win over Algeria in a 2018 World Cup qualifier in Uyo, where he scored the second goal.

Shanghai SIPG is rated third in terms of wealth and revenue in the Chinese league and the club is currently managed by former Chelsea coach, Andre Villas-Boas.

Mikel Obi rejected a move to another Chinese club, Shanghai Shenhua, last season
