Zenit midfielder Witsel reveals Juventus talks

Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Axel Witsel has revealed talks with Juventus.

Witsel admits he's speaking with Juve about a summer move.

"I'm 26, the best age to try a new experience," Witsel explained to Sudinfo. "I've always said that I didn't want to leave Zenit without lifting the league title, and that's done.

"My favourite league? I don't have one, my goal is to move to a top club in a top league.

"Juventus? There have been discussions, and they're ongoing. They're a fantastic team with a great project, to become again what they were in the days of [Zinedine] Zidane and [Pavel] Nedved.

"The contact is ongoing, both with me and Zenit. It's a destination that could be suitable for me."
