While the Kylian Mbappé soap opera is in full swing, with in particular a showdown that promises to be particularly intense between the native of Bondy and his club Paris Saint-Germain concerning a possible extension of the 2018 World Champion’s contract or the sale of the latter, a statement could well splash once again the Parisian club. Indeed, the former agent of Marco Verratti, Donato di Campli, made a remarkable exit by returning to an episode during the aborted transfer of his client at the time to FC Barcelona. If the Italian midfielder finally stayed in the French capital and even publicly apologized by blaming his agent, the latter obviously did not digest this story. “In Paris, the players are imprisoned, they never do what they want but the club does it, it’s a prison and there is blackmail. The attitude of PSG is always that of blackmail. We had decided to go to Barcelona. This obviously did not please the emir. Al Khelaifi even told me that if I kept trying to make the deal with Barça, Verratti would leave me… And that’s what happened. I’m sure Marco was scared, he won’t admit it, but that’s how it is.”“, declared Donato di Campli in particular to Report. Indeed, after this episode, Marco Verratti left his agent to engage with Mino Raiola, who at the time had very fluid relations with Paris Saint-Germain.
An affront for Donato di Campli who justified his remarks by returning to the episode of the real fake transfer to FC Barcelona while giving details on the difficulty of joining Nasser Al Khelaifi at that time. “As soon as he arrived, Verratti was in prison. When we spoke with Barcelona, PSG met him several times, they told him that they were going to sign Neymar, that they were going to do a project around him… If you oppose them, everything becomes personal. Former President Bartomeu kept calling Al Khelaifi and he never, ever answered the phone. My experience with them is very, very bad. They are only interested in money, it’s a club that has no soul. They won’t let you go because the Emir and Al Khelaifi think that everything is ‘buyable’, that they can conquer the world only with money. But we have already seen that this is not possible.dropped the former agent of Marco Verratti before returning to the hot file of this summer transfer window, Kylian Mbappé: “For PSG, it’s already a question of image. That’s when, for example, last year he even used Macron to persuade the player to avoid a move to Real Madrid. This is also what I mean when I talk about attitude blackmail. Today, Mbappé seems to have the upper hand, but my experience tells me that the club will use all means to assert its position. It won’t be easy for PSG to accept defeat with one of their stars, they never did. We have already talked about Verratti, but let’s not forget Marquinhos, Rabiot, Thiago Silva…” The message got through!
