The Ex-Chelsea star had calls for Turkish season to be cancelled amid coronavirus outbreak
"There is more to life than football," Mikel posted on Instagram.
"I do not feel comfortable and don’t want to play football in this situation," he added.
"Everyone should be home with their families and loved ones in this critical time. [The] season should be cancelled as the world is facing such turbulent times."
The Turkish Super Lig outfit announced on Tuesday evening the ex-Chelsea player parted ways by mutual consent. This came days after the 32-year-old disclosed he does “not feel comfortable” playing amid the ongoing pandemic while calling on authorities in Turkey to cancel the rest of the season.
