By Football Italia staff

Juventus target Axel Witsel is reportedly considering a huge offer from Chinese side Shanghai SIPG.

The Belgian was on the brink of joining the Bianconeri in the summer, but a the deal collapsed in the final hour of Transfer Deadline Day.

It was thought that the player's move would simply have to wait until January, but according to Sky Sport Italia, the 27-year-old will consider the offer from the Andre Villas-Boas’ side in the coming days.

The Portuguese Coach worked alongside Witsel at Zenit St. Petersburg from 2014, before he moved to China this summer.

Such a contract offer is thought to be in the region of a staggering €72m over its four-year duration.
