BVB rumors: Chinese doubt clause Witsels – Weigl commitment to PSG?

Media reports

"We will not comment on this personality," BVB Sports Director Michael Zorc said on Sunday night, "Ruhr news" about Axel Witsel (photo). Shortly before, the public radio broadcaster "RTBF" responsible for the French-speaking part of Belgium reported that the 29-year-old was completing his medical checkup with the inhabitants of Dortmund on Monday

This was obviously at least a bit premature. In any case, Monday, the most broadcast daily in Belgium, "Het Laatste Nieuws", reports that there is still no agreement between BVB and the Chinese club Witsel, Tianjin Quanjian . That's what we learned from the central midfield environment.

Also the second largest Belgian newspaper, "Het Nieuwsblad", deals with the subject, writes the Belgian international decided to get involved in the Bundesliga and should get 10 to 12 million raw euros a year. Witsel is now waiting for an agreement between the two clubs in his home country. Sticking point is apparently the alleged exit clause in the player's contract, which would allow him a transfer of 20 million euros – for this sum, he came in January 2017 from Zenit St. Petersburg. However, the Chinese doubt the existence of this clause

Parallel to the personality of Witsel, the rumors of departure of Julian Weigl to Paris Saint-Germain resume once again in France. The portal affiliated with the club "Paris United" announced Sunday night that the player of 22 years had opted for a change and that the PSG had already committed

On the other hand, no discussion has yet taken place between the two clubs, several media had already reported. Apparently, the BVB is requesting a transfer of 50 million euros for the midfielder, who would meet in Paris on his former sponsor Thomas Tuchel. Under the new coach of the French Weigl celebrated in the season 2015/16 his breakthrough in the Bundesliga.
