Chelsea to offload mikel

It seems like you're referring to John Obi Mikel, the Nigerian midfielder who has been a stalwart for Chelsea FC since 2006. While it's true that Mikel's contract with Chelsea is set to expire in June 2019, there have been no official announcements from the club about offloading him.

In fact, Mikel has been an important player for Chelsea in recent years, particularly during his loan spell at Tianjin TEDA in the Chinese Super League. He has also been a key figure in the Nigerian national team, serving as captain and helping the Super Eagles qualify for the 2018 World Cup.

That being said, it's possible that Chelsea may consider offloading Mikel if they receive a suitable offer for him. However, at 33 years old, Mikel is still a capable player who can contribute to the team, especially in a more limited capacity.

It's worth noting that Mikel has been linked with a move to other clubs in the past, including a potential return to his former club, Lyn Oslo, in Norway. However, nothing has been officially confirmed, and it remains to be seen what the future holds for the experienced midfielder.
