Witsel’s wife puts car on sale

Axel Witsel is earning £294,000-aweek playing in China but his missus is trying to flog their old banger for £3,000.

The 28-year-old has been on a moneymaking tour of football outposts since he moved to Russia’s Zenit St Petersburg in 2012.

And he agreed to join silly-spending Tianjin Quanjian in January to take his earnings to over £15million-a-season.

Despite the Chinese Super League money pouring into his account every week, the Belgium international’s wife Rafaella Szabo is asking for offers on her Ford.

Witsel could have joined Italian giants Juventus and targeted the Scudetto and Champions League.

But he has moved to the newly promoted Super League side where he will play with former Chelsea loan striker Alexandre Pato.

The selfie-loving Instagram star wants around £3,000 but she is open to offers of less — even though the car comes complete with a new set of snow wheels.

The midfielder admitted the decision to move to China was fuelled by the money on offer, securing his family’s fortune for generations to come.
