Former Nigeria skipper, John Obi Mikel, says that he does not rule out playing in Egypt and that he was not expecting what Mohamed Salah has reached, reports kingfut.com.
The 33-year-old is known for his spell at English side Chelsea, where he spent 11 years (2006-2017) and 91 caps for his national team. Mikel met the Egyptian King at the London club when he joined them in 2014.
However, Salah was not performing for the Blues and did not get a lot of playing time. He earned himself loan moves to Fiorentina and Roma before moving permanently to the Italian capital.
When the Nigeria international was asked about a potential move to the Egyptian league, Mikel told ON Sports: “I never ruled anything out.
“My goal is to continue playing football, and I hope I will have the opportunity, I do not reject any offers made to me, but rather study them well until I make the right decision.”
“We were close friends, talking a lot and joking a lot, he was a good friend.”
“I believed in his development, but frankly I did not imagine that he would reach the quality that he has now,” he added.
The Nigerian left his club, Turkish side Trabzonspor in protest against the continuation of league football despite the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic.
