Italian sports paper Il Corriere dello Sport claims that Barcelona is following Standard de Liège midfielder and Belgian international Axel Witsel (20).

When the player was fifteen years old, he would already have received an offer to join Barcelona, but preferred back then to stay with Standard.

Witsel has a contract until 2013 and his Belgian club would ask at least 10 million euro for the player. Real Madrid, Ajax and Arsenal are also said to be following the midfielder.
