AC Milan and Inter Milan are lining up a January move to sign Chelsea midfielder Mikel John Obi, according to reports in England.
The Nigeria skipper is struggling to get playing time under new manager Antonio Conte so far and his contract is due to expire in June 2017.
Moreover, the Express recently reported that also Olympique Marseille are keeping tabs on the 29-year-old.
Mikel joined the Blues in 2006 from Norwegian side Fotballklubben Lyn Oslo.
