Borussia Dortmund Target Offered to Man Utd Amid Concerns of Legal Battle Over Release Clause

Belgium international midfielder Axel Witsel has been offered to Manchester United ahead of the transfer window deadline in the Premier League, despite claims that the 29-year-old should already be a Borussia Dortmund player.

Witsel plays his club football in the Chinese Super League with Tianjin Quanjian, and he was one of the first high profile players that migrated to the CSL along with the likes of Oscar, Yannick Carrasco and current teammate Alexandre Pato.

The midfielder has just one year left on his contract but he is pushing for a move back to Europe this summer, and Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund have already met Witsel's reported €20m release clause.
