Witsel: ‘I will play for Juventus’
“I am very happy that a club like Juventus have not given up on me. I know I’ll play for them, though Istill don’t know when I’ll be joining them. It could be January or June.”
True, Witsel is going to join Juventus, but do we exactly know when? Not yet, unfortunately for Juventus fans. The 27-year-old midfielder has agreed personal terms with the Old Lady last summer, but his move to the J Stadium collapsed in the deadline day as Zenit unexpectedly changed their mind and refused to sell the player to Juventus for € 18 million.
The Serie A giants will try to sign Witsel in the January transfer window, though they are not open to invest more than € 6 million for a player that could join the club for free at the end of the season.
If Zenit fails to agree the player’s transfer fee in the winter transfer window, Juventus will sign Witsel as a free agent in June.
A recent report of Eurosport, however, claims that Zenit are not going to accept Juventus' proposal in January and that Witsel is going to sign for the bianconeri at the end of the current campaign.
