Axel Witsel, currently a free agent, has shown interest in a potential move to Udinese, as he is keen on playing in a prestigious league like Serie A. Udinese, on their part, is also keen on signing the 36-year-old Belgian midfielder. Having played in both Russia and China in the past, Witsel is carefully weighing his options, with the aim of remaining a contender for the Belgium national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Although Real Sociedad has shown interest in Witsel, he found their offer unsatisfactory. With 132 international caps to his name and a market value of €2.00m as estimated by Transfermarkt, Witsel is eager to finalize his next career move and hopes that a prominent role in Serie A will bolster his chances of being selected for the World Cup squad.
