Mircea Lucescu believes Axel Witsel is as good as Paul Pogba and has backed the Zenit midfielder to succeed at Juventus.
Zenit coach Mircea Lucescu feels Axel Witsel is on par with Paul Pogba, amid rumors he could replace the Manchester United-bound midfielder at Juventus.
Pogba has been heavily linked with a return to Old Trafford in recent weeks, with United reportedly willing to pay up to 120 million euros ($134M) to re-sign the 23-year-old.
Juventus is believed to have lined up Witsel as a potential replacement and Lucescu has little doubt the 27-year-old would be an instant hit at the Serie A champion.
