“Chelsea were very supportive,” the former midfielder added. “I remember Roman [Abramovich] saying do you want me to send people over? Because I know if I send people over, I can get your dad out. I was like, how are you going to do this?, He said don’t worry about that. Just let me, if you want that option, I can do it. And I’m happy to see that Liverpool are very supportive. I must give credit to Liverpool for what they’re doing,” Mikel during the interview said.
