Juventus prepared to wait for Axel Witsel transfer

Juventus are willing to take a 'wait-and-see' approach when it comes to landing their transfer targets, among which is Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Axel Witsel.

Juventus general director Giuseppe Marotta has revealed that the club are unlikely to sign any new players in the January transfer window, but Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Axel Witsel is still on their radar.

The Belgium international confirmed earlier this season that Juve had made contact, stating that he intended to make a move to the Italian giants at some point over the next year.

A switch does not look likely to take place next month, however, with Bianconeri chief Moratta admitting that a 'wait-and-see' approach must instead be adopted at this stage.

"It's difficult to imagine much happening in January, as it's difficult to find a player who can come in and raise the quality of a group such as ours at this point of a season," he told the club's official website. "There's no news regarding Witsel. He's a good player, let's wait and see what happens.

"All I can say is that we're a stable club with an ever growing revenue and economic strength that has enabled noteworthy investments of late such as the transfers of Gonzalo Higuain and Miralem Pjanic. The club's objectives go in tandem with those of the team."

Atalanta duo Mattia Caldara and Roberto Gagliardini are also understood to be on Juventus's radar ahead of the reopening of the transfer window in two weeks' time.
