🗣️ Axel Witsel confirmed that he was one step away from signing for Juventus in 2016: 

"I had passed the medicals, the last day of the transfer window at the headquarters in Turin waiting for the OK from Zenit, who then blocked the transfer that evening." 🇧🇪

"Max Allegri wanted me at Juventus. However, I would still like to play in Serie A."
