Axel Witsel has confirmed he will leave Zenit St Petersburg to join Juventus, but is unsure if the move will take place in January or June.
The Belgian midfielder travelled to Turin in the summer to complete a transfer to Juventus, only for the move to collapse in the closing minutes of deadline day.
As Zenit are not competing in this seasons Champions League, Witsel would be eligible to play for the Bianconeri, leading to suggestions that Juve could opt to sign him in the winter transfer window.
“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.”
hope he will come in january, cos our midfield is pretty weak, with him as CDM , Marchisio could go back to his best position and it could even help Pjanic to hit some form
