Barcelona enter race for Axel Witsel
Barcelona are the latest club to enter the race to sign Zenit St. Petersburg midfielder Axel Witsel. The Belgian has already rejected the chance to move to the Premier League, refusing offers from Chelsea and Everton and has been heavily linked with Serie A giants Juventus.
According to Calciomercato, while Juventus are still negotiating a deal to sign Witsel from the Russian outfit in January, Barcelona are also tempted to offer him a huge contract to sign for them at the end of the current season. Barcelona have struggled due to their midfield this season and Witsel could prove to be an incredible addition if they can sign him in January.
