Paper Talk: Belgium star snubs Chelsea move, Inter could sell €30m winger
According to Tuttosport, however, Witsel, however, has snubbed a move to Chelsea as he had already found agreement with the Old Lady and wants to keep his word. The 26-year-old star was close to joining Juventus last summer, but the deal collapsed in the deadline day. Witsel was so close to joining the Serie A giants that he had been waiting for Zenit to give him green light inside Juventus’ headquarters in Turin.
Juventus are now close to finalize a € 8-10 million move for the talented midfielder who can join the club on the cheap given that his contract with Zenit ends at the end of the current campaign.
