UEFA Champions League
The future of Axel Witsel at Atlético de Madrid seems to be numbered. The veteran Belgian footballer, who has lost all prominence this season, has already begun to seriously consider leaving the mattress team. His contract expires in June, and after being left without minutes in recent months, everything points to him seeking a new destination to once again feel important.
Forgotten by Simeone
At 36 years old, the former Borussia Dortmund player has gone from being a key piece in Diego Simeone's scheme to becoming a regular discard. The arrival of new defensive reinforcements, such as Clément Lenglet and Robin Le Normand, has relegated Witsel to a secondary role, leaving him without participation since January. This lack of continuity has been decisive in Belgium not calling him up during the recent international break, a situation that reinforces his decision to leave the Metropolitano.
In a recent interview with the newspaper Le Soir, the player himself admitted that he is open to any proposal and will analyze his next destination calmly. His priority will not only be the sporting aspect but also the well-being of his family. Although he does not contemplate a return to Standard de Lieja, leagues like the MLS or the Saudi Pro League appear as viable options for the next season.
