ROMANO: Witsel to join AC Milan unlikely
Zenit St. Petersburg 27-year-old Axel Witsel remains a target, but the Russian club is irritated by Milan’s attitude during the last transfer window, and to let the former Benfica man leave require €25 million cash. At such conditions, a transfer to San Siro seems almost impossible.
The alternative to Witsel is another Belgian - Manchester United 28-year-old Marouane Fellaini: the latter has been observed by Galliani himself for a long time, but even in this case, the transfer fee required is extremely high: €20 million.
