John Obi Mikel's wage demands have reportedly ended the interest of Spanish side Valencia.
Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has turned down a move to Spanish La Liga side Valencia after the Spanish club failed to meet his wage demands, reports have claimed.
The 29-year old has been linked with Valencia and a host of other clubs including in China after it emerged he would play little or no part in Chelsea’s season and with his contract up at the end of the season, Valencia and a host of other clubs have reportedly shown interest and according to Allnigeriasoccer.com, Mikel has turned down a move to the La Liga club.
Mikel is yet to play for the Blues in competitive fixtures this term, as he has been out of favour since returning from representing Nigeria at the Olympic Games in Brazil in the summer and it is almost certain he will finally leave Stamford Bridge after 11 years in West London.
According to the report, Valencia had offered Mikel three million euros wages per season, which was deemed insufficient by the holding midfielder.
Reports also emanated last week claiming the Super Eagles skipper could make a surprise switch to Old Trafford to join Jose Mourinho, but it is increasingly looking like only clubs in China may be able to afford his wage demands.
