Marca: Witsel, 36, will join Girona as a free agent

According to Le Marca, Girona will sign Vitsel, who is now 36 years old. Udinese was originally the most popular next home of the Belgian player, and Girona's sports management will complete the signing before Udinese.

Witser terminated his contract with Atletico Madrid after the Club World Cup ended in June last year and then began to look for a new adventure. Before this, he had played for Liege, Benfica, Zenit, Tianjin Quanjian, Dortmund and Atletico Madrid, with rich experience.

Vitsel will bring intense competitiveness and rich international experience to Girona. The signing also seems to mean the team closed the goal of Romeu's return, although there may still be a lack of a more creative midfielder in the team, and Artur Melo is waiting for further action from the club.

Girona coach Michel Sanchez said that after Gutierrez transfers to Napoli, Girona needs to introduce a left back, a winger, a forward, and possibly another midfielder. Whether to strengthen the team will depend on the departure situation, with Miowski being the most likely player to leave in order to make room for the upcoming new forward, which will be a major investment for the team.
