The future of Axel Witsel at Atletico Madrid could take a different turn following the arrival of an offer from an unnamed Saudi Arabian club, according to the report from Fichajes.net.

The Belgian was one of the most outstanding players at the club last season. A performance that led to the extension of his contract for an additional year.

However, the offer from the Saudi club could change his stance at the club. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, may not be willing to let him leave the club unless an irresistible offer arrives, just as in the case of Rodrigo de Paul.

Fichajes revealed Atletico Madrid is considering the offer from the unnamed club due to the player’s age. Witsel 33 has a contract until the summer of 2024.

He is also a key player at the club this season and is expected to continue with the project headed by Diego Simeone.

However, he could change his stance at the club following the offer from Saudi Arabia.

Football fans know the lucrative deals players have signed with clubs from the Middle East in the summer. Inexpensive names like Neymar, Sadio Mane, and Karim Benzema are already lacing their boots in the Saudi Pro League.

Will Atletico Madrid accept an irresistible offer for Axel Witsel?

Leaving the Wanda Metropolitano would significantly blow the club’s plans in the new season due to his ability and versatility. The Belgian has already shown his worth in the team and is the reason he should be an integral part of the project.
