Witsel: ‘I’ll join Juventus’

By Football Italia staff

Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Axel Witsel confirms he’ll join Juventus but admits “I don’t know" if it'll be January or June.

The Belgian international was on the verge of signing for the Bianconeri in the summer, but the deal collapsed at the last minute.

Given that Zenit aren’t in the Champions League Witsel wouldn’t be cup-tied, leading to suggestions the Old Lady will return for him in January, rather than when his contract expires in the summer.

“It’s always nice to hear that a club like Juventus are not giving up on me,” Witsel told RTBF.

“Right now I’m not asking whether it’ll be in January or June, I’m just playing my matches and we’ll see what happens for me.

“But I’ll join Juventus? That will be the case. Right now I don’t know when.”
