Essien open to Barca or Real switch, agent claims

MICHAEL ESSIEN’S future at Chelsea has been thrown into doubt after his agent claims the midfielder would consider a move away from Stamford Bridge.

Fabian Piveteau claims Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid would be interested in luring the Ghana international away from Stamford Bridge and has refused to rule out the possibility of an approach proving successful.

“Some clubs are interested in Michael,’’ Piveteau said.
