After one and a half season at China's Tianjin Quanjian, Axel Witsel wants to move back to Europe. And after a successful World Cup in Russia, where Belgium finished third, the 29-year-old midfielder has a few offers.
Two main options are Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain. The German club is eager to get the player, but his salary (18 million euros per year) is too high for Dortmund's budget.
Paris, in contrast, can afford it - and their new German coach Thomas Tuchel is determined to bring Witsel to Parc des Princes. Witsel's first language is actually French, which may make his adaptation in Paris even easier
