Vitsel's transfer to Juventus was halted by Zenit

Belgian midfielder Axel Witsel revealed that he was close to moving to Turin's Juventus in 2016 while being a former player of Zenit and currently a free agent. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

He had undergone a medical examination at the Juventus office and there was little time left before the transfer window closed. They were just waiting for the approval of the Zenit club, but the Petersburg team canceled the transaction at the last minute.

At that time, it was said that coach Allegri really wanted to see him in the team. Witsel emphasized that he did not have specific advantages, but he was still capable of being useful both on the field and within the team.

He played for Zenit from 2012 to 2017, then continued his career in China, Germany, and Spain. In June 2025, he left Atletico and is currently active as a free agent.
