Axel Witsel, a 37-year-old midfielder, has entered Sevilla's transfer agenda as a possible reinforcement at no cost after finishing his time at Girona. The Belgian is close to joining Nice, but Sevilla has already contacted his representatives in case the deal in France doesn't go through.

This move addresses a specific need in Luis García Plaza's squad. Sevilla has lost Djibril Sow, Batista Mendy, and Nemanja Gudelj this summer and has only added Jon Guridi to a midfield that still requires new additions before the end of the transfer window.

Axel Witsel, Sevilla's Alternative Plan

According to information from Sacha Tavolieri, Sevilla has shown interest in Axel Witsel and is monitoring the conversations with Nice. The player is free after ending his contract with Girona, so no transfer fee would be required.

The player's priority currently lies in France. Witsel has agreed to a contract with Nice for one season plus an optional one, although the agreement still needs internal approval from the French club.

The operation is pending approval from INEOS, the group that owns Nice. If it receives final authorization, Witsel will continue his career in Ligue 1; if the deal falters in this final step, Sevilla is positioned as one of the alternatives to sign him.

His profile would also cover two positions. Witsel began his career as a midfielder and in recent years has played as both a defensive midfielder and center-back, versatility that aligns with Luis García's needs to complete the squad. Sevilla's priority focuses on signing another forward.

His LaLiga Experience Fits Sevilla's Plans

Axel Witsel is familiar with LaLiga after four consecutive seasons in Spain. He joined Atlético Madrid in 2022, spent three seasons under Diego Simeone's guidance, and then signed with Girona for the 2025-26 season.

His last year provides immediate proof of his competitive continuity. Witsel played in 32 LaLiga matches, accumulated 2,533 minutes, and finished the season with one goal and two assists. He started in 30 out of 38 matches played by Girona.

His potential arrival also aligns with the financial scope managed by the sports management. The player is currently without a contract, and his market value is around €1.2 million, so the main agreement needed would concern his salary and contract duration.

Meanwhile, Sevilla continues to seek more than one addition for their midfield. Luis García has requested reinforcements from midfield to attack, and the sports management aims to introduce different profiles following the three departures that occurred during the summer.

Axel Witsel's future now depends on the final decision regarding his agreement with Nice. If INEOS validates the agreed conditions, the Belgian will sign in France; if the deal falls through before being finalized, Sevilla is prepared to try to keep the player in LaLiga.
