Witsel pushing for Milan move

Milan target Axel Witsel is currently in negotiations with his agent and Zenit to try and complete a move to Milan.

"This is not an easy process, but we are working towards completing a move to Milan. Axel has said he wants to measure himself up against a highly-competitive League, one superior to Russia. He wants an exciting experience that can get the most out of his qualities," Witsel's agent, Riccardo Napolitano told FantaGazzeta.

Milan, who reportedly offered €22m + bonuses for Witsel, are currently trying to sign the Belgian midfielder after El Shaarawys departure.

"Zenit are asking for €30m to €35m cash in order to let him leave. Let’s not forget this is a club that has no particular need for liquidity, although we all know what a great director Adriano Galliani is. Sometimes he can make the impossible become possible, so we’ll wait and see what happens."

 "On Monday or Tuesday we’ll have a telephone meeting with the Rossoneri."

Milan have according to Mediaset, offered Zenit €15m + Menez for Witsel.
