Italian midfielder Marco Verratti seemed close to leaving just a few days ago. But the transfer market moves quickly. Very quickly.
The offers from Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal and Al-Ahly didn’t convince, and PSG is in need of playmakers in midfield. Verratti could take on this role for the season, with the support of Luis Enrique, who praised his work in a press conference on Friday.
“According to internal sources, the player is likely to leave the club where he has been playing for eleven years. However, the possibility of him staying is not ruled out either. It has gained more substance over the days, as his situation hasn’t really evolved despite the close approach of several Saudi clubs that seemed at one point very close to signing him,” explains Le Parisien.
With Lee Kang-In’s injury, Marco Verratti has a significant opportunity to contribute.
