Roma and Milan target Axel Witsel confirms “I want to leave Zenit and play next season in the Premier League or Serie A.”
The midfielder spoke to reporters from the Belgium camp at Euro 2016 and sent a come and get me plea.
“I want to try a new experience in a different League, a new challenge,” said Witsel.
“I hope to setp up a level and play in a big European club.”
He has been linked to the likes of Roma, Milan, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
“My future could be in Italy or in England. It doesn’t matter if I go to Serie A or the Premier League, as long as it’s a big club.”
Milan already tried to approach Zenit for Witsel in January, but were put off by the €35m asking price.
As his contract is due to expire in 2017, that price-tag has dropped, but Zenit still want €20m.
Roma seem to have the upper hand, as Witsel would reunite with ex-Zenit Coach Luciano Spalletti.
Above all, the Giallorossi need a high profile replacement for Miralem Pjanic, who activated his release clause to join Juventus.
