Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho is showing interest in Benfica midfielder Axel Witsel, according to Record.
It is no secret that the Portuguese boss is already on the lookout for potential summer signings and Record claims that Benfica’s Axel Witsel is high on Mourinho’s wish list.
The Portuguese newspaper reveals that former Chelsea and Inter boss has been impressed by the Belgian and he could make his interest concrete at the end of the season.
Mourinho believes that Witsel shows great maturity for a player of his age, with his versatility another stand out feature.
The 23-year-old is capable of covering a number of positions in midfield and that is something that only increases his value.
The Belgian international only joined Benfica last summer, but he has largely impressed playing alongside former Real Madrid midfielder Javi Garcia.
Witsel featured in 22 Primeira Liga games for the Eagles, while he amassed 12 Champions League appearances this term and scored two goals in the process.
