As reported by Mundo Deportivo, the Atletico Madrid has gotten into the bidding to get the services of axel witzel in the next summer transfer market and beat Olympique de Marseille, who is concerned about the appearance of the mattress team in the fight for the signing.
The 33-year-old Belgian midfielder ends his contract with Borussia Dortmund on June 30 and has no intention of renewing it, so he will become one of the most coveted pound agents in the European market.
Axel Witsel, Atlético de Madrid’s plan B in case Carlos Soler doesn’t arrive
Atlético de Madrid has it as a plan B to reinforce the midfielder in the summer transfer market if they do not finalize the incorporation of Carlos Soler, who has become one of the club’s objectives due to his situation with Valencia CF and its low price. But the mattress team is not the only one interested in signing him, so they have a second option to reinforce their area of midfielders.
Diego Pablo Simeone wants Axel Witsel to fill the role of Héctor Herrera, who left the club to sign as a free agent with MLS’s Houston Dynamo. The Argentine sees him as an ideal piece to occupy the role of positional midfielder and offer him more physicality in the first line, a profile that they do not have in the current squad and they tried to incorporate with Boubacar Kamara. It is the low cost option.
