Zenit Saint-Petersburg and Belgium midfielder Axel Witsel is interesting a number of clubs, including Liverpool, according to tuttomercatoweb.com. The 27 year old has one year left on his contract and wants a move away from the Russian Super League.

With his contract running down, it is believed the player will be allowed to leave for €20m or £16-17million with Manchester United, Chelsea and the Reds the leading clubs interested in the Belgian from the Premier League, but there is also interest from Serie A with Napoli and Juventus being the most likely contenders. The Italian clubs will find it hard to match the Russian’s club’s asking price for the player leaving the door open for a move to Engand.

Belgium will face Wales in the quarter final of the European Championships in Lille on Friday night and it is believed that Zenit will discuss Witsel’s future after his team have finished their participation in the tournament.
