Obi Mikel close to Brazil move

Botafogo are willing to recover their greatness in Brazil. After the arrival of Keisuke Honda and the sounding out of Yaya Touré, the team is close to the signing of John Obi Mikel.

According to 'Globoesporte', the Nigerian has now opened negotiations with the Brazilian outfit, although the health crisis has put a halt to it all.

You have to remember that the ex-Chelsea player precisely left Trabzonspor after refusing to keep playing when football in all of Europe was stopped except in Turkey and a few other countries.

Interestingly, it was announcing his departure from the club, with which he had a contract until 2021, and the Turkish League also closed down indefinitely.

In Brazil, they are already looking forward to his possible arrival, and you have to remember that he played more than 370 official matches for Chelsea and is still just 32.
