Juventus risk missing out on both Julian Draxler and Axel Witsel, as the Zenit man only wants Milan.
The Bianconeri have been looking for a trequartista to play between the lines since the start of the summer, but hit brick walls at every turn.
Last night it emerged that Schalke were pulling Draxler off the market because they didn’t want to risk Wolfsburg beating Juve’s offer for the midfielder.
The next target on the list is Witsel, who Zenit will allow to leave for €3m loan plus mandatory option to buy for €22m if he makes 20 appearances.
However, there are problems here too, as Tuttomercatoweb insist Witsel has his heart set on Milan and will accept no other destination.
The transfer deadline is on Monday, so time is running out for the Bianconeri.

After everything we have gone through, this guy? And if he was that good, we should have prioritised him over Draxler. I'm never comfortable signing a 'not' talent from Russiam because to me, it just suggests the kind of player with a mentality that doesn't have priorities in place. Witsel likely went to Russia for the money and Juve will be a stepping stone for him as it was for Vidal and Coman, in a season or two, when he will want to leave, and our project will be confused again.
which sounds reasonable. i think i´m in on that 
.
on a serious note: can someone tell me how he has been doing last season? preferably someone who doesn´t hate his guts because of "personal" reasons?
it kinda baffles me that everyone seems to follow the russian league. i have maybe seen 5 games of him and i guess he did well. never paid attention, though.
