Nice target Witsel after Abergel's serious injury
Nice offer contract to Axel Witsel, Belgian international free after leaving Girona, to reinforce midfield.
Laurent Abergel suffered a serious injuryâanterior cruciate ligament ruptureâforcing Nice to seek solutions in the market. According to RMC, the French club has turned its attention to Axel Witsel, the 37-year-old Belgian international who just left Girona.
The Aiglons have tabled an offer of one year plus another optional, with the ball now in the player's court. Nice values Witsel's experience, his leadership in the dressing room, and his ability to mentor young players like Djibril Coulibaly and Everton. The Belgian was at the recent World Cup, even playing half an hour in the quarter-final against Spain (10 July, 1-2).
