Intermediary for Witsel: "Napoli have vanished, Everton present a super engagement"
The intermediary, who was overseeing the proposed move of Belgian midfielder Axel Witsel to Napoli, has told Radio Crc that the player will not be heading to the San Paolo this summer.
Francesco Marseglia told the station that; “The boy is distant from Napoli, that business has vanished as the offer has been rejected”, adding that; “Everton can offer him a salary in excess of €4 million net a season and this seems his more likely destination”.
He continued; “If you look at the economic situation then Everton is the right move but for a career move I would choose Napoli every time even putting aside the Champions League. Everton does not seem to be a great team and if it were my son, I would not have any doubts were I would want him to go. Witsel will still wait a little longer in case a bigger club shows interest”.
