According to reports in Italy, Napoli are ready to offer up to £5million to land the Nigeria international, with talks set to open before the weekend.

Mikel, who is also a target for Galatasaray, has previously expressed his desire to remain at Stamford Bridge, but Napoli are confident of doing business.

Napoli are believed to be willing to spend up to £8million to get their man.
