EXCLUSIVE: Napoli join Serie A rivals in hunt for Witsel
Witsel will not extend his stay at Zenit, where his contract expires in 2017. AC Milan are long time admirers of the 27-year-old, but the rossoneri can’t make any official offer as they are still negotiating the club’s sale to a Chinese consortium.
AS Roma might make an offer to the Russian club as the giallorossi are looking for a replacement of Miralem Pjanic whilst Juve are keeping tabs on the Belgian midfielder, though he is not a priority for the Old Lady. Calciomercato.com has exclusively learned that Napoli are also interested in signing the wantaway 27-year-old midfielder who netted in Belgium’s 3-0 win over Ireland today.
Aurelio De Laurentiis wants to buy two quality players in the middle of the pitch as Napoli will play Champions League football next season and need to add some depth to their squad who managed to finish second behind champions Juventus in the last Serie A campaign.
