Juventus Turin thinks about winter transfer from Axel Witsel

Juventus Turin is already thinking about BVB professional Axel Witsel for the upcoming winter transfer window. SPOX and Goal can provide a corresponding report of the image confirm.

The right foot is one of several midfield options for the Italians. Recently, rumors circulated about a possible move of the 32-year-old to Turin next summer. Then Witsel would be available for a free transfer after his contract expires.

The Witsel side is said to have negotiated with the old lady before the current season, but BVB coach Marco Rose spoke out against a change.

It is still unclear whether the Belgian international, who has played all 17 competitive games this season (13 times in the starting XI), will extend or change. “Honestly, I don’t know,” he said on the BVB website at the end of September regarding a possible contract extension: “I don’t have a plan yet.”

Witsel moved from the Chinese TJ Tianhai to Dortmund in the summer of 2018 for 20 million euros. In the past, including before moving to China, Witsel had the opportunity to go to Turin.

Großkreutz, Choupo, de Gea & Co .: The biggest transfer mishaps on Deadline Day

1/21

The last day of a transfer period is often hectic. Our small collection shows what can go wrong there. We are curious to see what anecdotes there will be to tell later from summer 2021.

2/21

AXEL WITSEL: The current Dortmund resident had already passed the medical check at Juventus Turin, the (still) employer Zenit St. Petersburg was looking for a successor and simply couldn’t find anything.

3/21

Witsel had already waited 13 hours in a hotel room in Turin for the final contract to be signed. When the approval from Russia actually came, Turin was no longer able to submit the documents on time.

4/21

ERIC MAXIM CHOUPO-MOTING: At 6:12 p.m. the fax from 1. FC Köln arrived at the DFB to seal the move of the striker from HSV to the cathedral city in 2011 – two attempts to send it had failed.

5/21

The DFB announced: “We can’t do anything for technical problems.” The FC countered in the person of managing director Horstmann: “But neither do we.” The change failed, Choupo-Moting stayed with HSV.

6/21

KEVIN GROSSKREUTZ: The move from BVB veteran to Galatasaray went really wrong. The transfer threatened to fail completely in the summer of 2015 due to a formal error before it finally worked.

7/21

The problem: There were no signatures on the contract, so the midfielder could not be used in the preliminary round. After the suspension was over, Grosskreutz felt homesick and moved to Stuttgart.

8/21

SEKOU SANOGO: The Ivorian should switch from Young Boys Bern to HSV at the beginning of 2016. However, the Swiss first division missed sending all the necessary papers in time.

9/21

“We agreed on the loan deal. Unfortunately, we received the necessary documents from Bern after 6 pm. I’m sorry for the player,” said HSV sports director Peter Knäbel.

10/21

DAVID DE GEA: The move of the goalkeeper from Manchester United to Real Madrid in the summer of 2015 had already been decided. The royal wanted to pay 30 million euros for the native of Madrid.

11/21

Real sent the documents to the Spanish association 28 minutes late. Instead, de Gea extended it by four years and now has 408 games under his belt for the Red Devils.

12/21

FELIPE ANDERSON: In the case of the Brazilian, too, a defective fax machine thwarted the planned move from FC Santos to Lazio Rome. The Romans wanted to transfer 7.5 million in early 2013.

13/21

It was only a matter of time, however: six months later, the change of the Brazilian U-20 international to the Eternal City was finally finalized. Today he plays for West Ham.

14/21

PETER ODEMWINGIE: Legendary breakdown! The striker drove his car to the Queens Park Rangers club in 2013 to finalize the transfer from West Bromwich Albion.

15/21

His manager meanwhile had other ideas and abandoned the change without further ado. So the Nigerian drove back. “It was so close that QPR had even prepared a shirt with my name on it,” he said later.

16/21

ADRIEN SILVA: 14 seconds can sometimes mean the world, as was the case with the midfielder, who was transferred from Sporting Lisbon to Leicester City in 2017 for 25 million euros.

17/21

The documents for Silva’s eligibility to play were submitted to the FA just a few seconds too late, the association remained tough, and the 31-year-old was only allowed to make his debut for the Foxes in January 2018.

18/21

MOUSSA SISSOKO: Everton FC or Tottenham Hotspur – that was the question that haunted the French after the Euro 2016. The Toffees wanted to dig deep into their pockets and had already sent a private plane to Sissoko.

19/21

The shock followed: On the last day of the transfer period, the central midfielder decided for Spurs, the private jet was allowed to return and Tottenham transferred 35 million euros to Newcastle.

20/21

SHINJI KAGAWA: The second era of the Japanese at BVB ended in 2019, in January Hannover 96 was one of the interested parties. However, communication between manager Heldt and club boss Kind failed.

21/21

When the telephone line was up and Hannover and Dortmund had reached a fundamental agreement, Kagawa was already on a private plane to Istanbul, where he played on loan for Besiktas for the next six months.

BVB star Witsel: Juventus change burst several times

“I’ve had the chance to go there several times. But I’ve decided to go to other clubs,” he said at the last European Championship: “I don’t regret it. I would make every decision again.”

However, the thing between him and Juve in 2016 was not exactly as Witsel portrayed. Italian media unanimously reported that Juventus wanted to sign Witsel on the last day of the transfer window in summer 2016 and that the Belgian, at that time in the service of Zenit St. Petersburg, had even completed the medical check.

Then he is said to have waited 13 hours in the hotel for the necessary documents from St. Petersburg. These didn’t come in time and the deal fell through.
