Witsel: A Possible Return that Excites Standard Liege
Axel Witsel, after three seasons of total dedication at Atlético, faces a personal crossroads: should he continue his successful career or return to the club of his origins? Standard Liege, where he debuted at just 17 years old and won five titles, dreams of his return to revitalize the team.
Although the financial offer does not match his current status, the Belgian club appeals to his feelings and the player’s desire to complete the circle at home. Witsel has been a key player for Atlético, first as one of the team’s best central defenders and then as an exemplary professional.
However, the temptation to return to Standard, driven by figures such as Marc Wilmots, the club’s sporting director, is strong. Wilmots has even offered him a position in the institution once he retires, which adds extra appeal to the proposal.
Standard fans are eagerly awaiting Witsel’s possible arrival, which would represent a fundamental boost to the club, which seeks to regain its place in the elite of Belgian football. The Belgian player is considering his decision, aware that his choice will not only impact his career, but also the future of Standard Liege.
