Nigerian International John Obi Mikel has revealed that he has cancelled his contract with Chinese Super League club Tianjin Teda, despite having a year left.
As a result of his decision, Mikel did not travel with the club to Spain for pre-season training. He is presently holding talks with the club to see how the contract can be cancelled amicably.
”I broke the contract with the club, which means I will leave Teda. As for my next stop, I am not sure yet, maybe I will return to Europe, maybe stay in China,” he told Tianjin TV Sports New Vision program.
”Anyway, I would like to wish the TEDA team good luck next season.”
Mikel performed well for Tianjin Teda in the first half of the 2018 season but struggled with injuries in the second half after representing Nigeria at the World Cup.
