Witsel, a seasoned midfielder with extensive European experience, has completed his transfer to Nice, bolstering the club's midfield options ahead of the upcoming season. The Belgian international adds depth to a squad that has faced disruptions in its defensive setup.
The signing follows Nice's acquisition of Laurent Abergel from Lorient, who suffered a serious knee injury shortly after joining the club. Witsel's arrival is intended to compensate for the loss and provide additional stability in the middle of the park during what has been a challenging period for the Ligue 1 outfit.
Withel brings a wealth of experience from his career in top European leagues, making him a valuable addition to Nice's ranks as the club seeks to reinforce its squad depth and maintain competitive performance in the domestic campaign.
