Former PSG player Danilo Pereira, who played in Paris between 2020 and 2024, still carries powerful memories from his time at the club. Now at Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, the 34-year-old even watched with emotion as PSG finally lifted the Champions League. But when asked which players impressed him the most, his answer surprised many — no Neymar, no Messi, no Mbappé.
Verratti – The Maestro He’ll Never Forget
Danilo’s first pick is clear: Marco Verratti. “Marco, absolutely. With or without the ball… he was incredible. The way he played, the way he spoke on the pitch — I had never seen a midfielder like him. A complete player.”
For Danilo, Verratti wasn’t just a teammate — he was a genius in midfield, unlike anyone else.
Zaïre-Emery – The Future of PSG
The second name he highlights represents PSG’s future: Warren Zaïre-Emery. “At 16 or 17, he was already doing unbelievable things. He plays a little less lately, but he has so much potential. He can go very far. He’s a very kind kid that I really like.”
Danilo witnessed the rise of a phenomenon — and Zaïre-Emery’s recent performance against Strasbourg only confirmed his words.
Between Verratti, the master of the past, and Zaïre-Emery, the leader of tomorrow, Danilo defines PSG’s midfield identity: talent, intelligence, and character.
