According to L'Equipe, Belgian international Axel Witsel officially joined Nice on Tuesday.
According to previous reports from L'Equipe, Axel Witsel has signed with Nice. The 37-year-old midfielder joined on a free transfer, having played 32 games for Girona last season. He also made an appearance at the World Cup this summer, playing for half an hour in the quarter-final against Spain, a match that ended in a 1-2 defeat. There has been no significant change in the situation regarding Vadim Wahid in recent hours. The "Red Devils" player previously played for Standard Liège, Benfica, Zenit, and Borussia Dortmund, and was originally supposed to sign a one-year contract with an option for an extension.
Axel Witsel's arrival is a real boost for Nice and relieves the pressure on the team from Laurent Abergor's serious injury over the past two weeks. Witsel is expected to make his official debut soon. As for the transfer of Ilija Wahi, Nice considers him a priority target and is very keen to sign him, but the deal remains stalled, with no significant progress made in recent hours.
