Won't return to Atletico Madrid
Witsel won't return to Atletico Madrid after the 2024/25 season, according to Relevo.
ANALYSIS
Atletico Madrid have decided not to offer a new contract to the 35-year-old at the end of this season. Witsel, who can play both as a center-back and defensive midfielder, could generate interest from teams in the MLS and Saudi Pro League if he becomes a free agent.
