Milan, Zenit discounts Witsel

By Football Italia staff

Zenit St Petersburg are now willing to accept €30m for Axel Witsel, but Milan still offer only €20m.

The 26-year-old is apparently open to the idea of a move, but there is a chasm of €10m between the two clubs.

Zenit were initially asking for €40m for the player, while the player's agent recently stated that they wanted between €30-35m.

La Gazzetta dello Sport confirmed today that the Russians would be satisfied with €30m in total.

Milan, however, have not yet raised their initial offer of €20m, and their move may be delayed as their priority is currently that of signing Alessio Romagnoli for the defence.
