OGC Nice has shown interest in 37-year-old Belgian international Axel Witsel. It is reported that the French club has made an inquiry about the midfielder, who is a free agent after his contract with Girona expired. Nice is searching for an experienced player who can be deployed immediately to reinforce their midfield. This need has been heightened by a serious injury to summer signing Laurent Abergel and the departure of Charles Vanhoutte to Feyenoord. It is not yet clear if the club's interest will result in a contract for Witsel. The midfielder has 140 caps and 12 goals for Belgium, and his current market value is €1.20m, according to Transfermarkt.
