Axel Witsel, one of the most prominent veterans at Atlético de Madrid, could be experiencing his last months at the red-and-white club. At 35 years old and with a contract expiring in the summer, the Belgian midfielder is on the radar of various teams, especially in the United States, where they view the addition of a player of his caliber favorably. Although the initial plan seemed to be his departure at the end of the season, the possibility of him leaving the team in January is gaining strength.

Axel Witsel could be heading to the MLS

The Belgian, who has had intermittent participation in the current campaign under Cholo Simeone's orders, is seriously considering exploring new adventures outside of Europe. His experience and quality in midfield make him a desired signing in both the Major League Soccer and the Middle East leagues. Saudi Arabia, in particular, has shown interest in securing his services, following their policy of attracting recognized figures from international football.

However, the most likely destination for Witsel appears to be the American continent. In the United States, several MLS clubs are willing to offer him an appealing contract that would allow him to extend his career in a competitive environment but less demanding than the top European leagues. His arrival would not only bring football quality but also a significant media impact for the team that manages to sign him.

At Atlético de Madrid, the decision regarding his future seems to hinge on specific offers that come in the following weeks. The board would be open to facilitating his immediate departure if it benefits all parties involved. Meanwhile, Witsel is carefully evaluating what could be one of the last significant decisions of his professional career, with a continent change looming in the near future.
