The transfer window always reserves its share of surprises. The proof, a Saudi delegation made the trip to Paris to try to find an agreement with Marco Verratti in order to bring the Italian international to Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia is attacking Seko Fofana, but the captain of RC Lens is not the only midfielder playing in Ligue 1 to please Saudi clubs, who want to grab everything on the transfer market during this summer transfer window. Marco Verratti is also a Saudi target and more specifically the leaders of the Al-Hilal club, who made the trip to Paris to negotiate the arrival of the native of Pescara according to L’Equipe.

For the time being, there is no indication that Marco Verratti will give in to the Saudi sirens when, a short time ago, a return to Serie A in a big club such as Inter Milan was for example mentioned. A transfer to FC Barcelona was also a possibility, as was an improbable rebound to Manchester City, where Pep Guardiola appreciates his profile. If finally, Marco Verratti leaves for Saudi Arabia, then his detractors will be able to smile.
Riolo trolls Verratti… as usual
This is particularly the case of Daniel Riolo, who has not stopped criticizing the Italian international from PSG for years, in particular for his lifestyle and his lack of professionalism. On his Twitter account, the RMC journalist did not fail to cut Marco Verratti while his transfer to Saudi Arabia is being discussed.

“The Saudis want Verratti? Ah good ? But I thought City… that Pep wanted to build around him… or Bayern rather, no? Ah no it was Real it’s true.. or Barça.. ah shit I don’t know anymore. Ah yes here is Inter … well we will see » had fun Daniel Riolo, who would laugh if Marco Verratti transferred to Saudi Arabia at only 30 years old. Still, for now, the native of Pescara is under contract with PSG until June 2026. Suffice to say that Saudi Arabia will therefore have to pay a high price to dislodge Marco Verratti from the French capital.
