Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini met the representatives of Zenit’s Axel Witsel this morning, say reports.

The Belgium international has been linked with a move to the Giallorossi to reunite with former Zenit Coach Luciano Spalletti.

Domenico Criscito, a defender for the Russian club, said this morning that Witsel had ‘given nothing away’ when he asked about Italian interest.

Calciomercato.it has reported that Sabatini met with Riccardo Napolitano and Francesco Marseglia this morning, agents of the Universal Group who are Witsel’s intermediaries.

The website believes the parties have had a first meeting to set up a negotiation with Zenit for the transfer of the midfielder to Roma this summer.

Witsel’s current deal in St Petersburg expires in 2017 and the likes of Milan and Juventus are also believed to be considering bids.
