Axel Witsel has reportedly agreed terms with Inter, but Zenit’s €22m asking price is a problem.
The Belgian international has been linked with a number of Serie A sides in recent years, including Juventus, Milan and Napoli.
However, Gazzetta dello Sport is now reporting that the Nerazzurri have agreed in principle a five-year contract with the 27-year-old, worth €3m per season.
Despite that, the deal is far from done as Zenit St Petersburg are demanding a big fee to let go of one of their prized assets.

The Russian side want €22m for Witsel, whose contract expires in a year, a price the Beneamata are reluctant to pay.
