Mikel made his opinion known in a report by Tianjin TV Sports New Visionprogram, he stated that he may well return to Europe but not decision has been made yet.

He said : ''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. 

''Anyway, I would like to wish the TEDA team good luck next season.''

Mikel was a key member of the Tinajin TEDA set up in the earlier part of the season but struggled with injury after representing the Super Eagles at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
