The latest impressive sums of money dazzled Chinese buyers will turn St. Petersburg's "Zenit" midfielder Axel Witsel. Indeed, the 27-year-old Belgian's contract with the Russians will end next summer, and the clubs now need to decide on the transfer date. A. Witsel was actively tempted by Turin's "Juventus", but the Italians could not match the "Tianjin Quanjian" team, which promised to pay the player 18 million euros per season and sign a contract for four years.
