The latest news from Spain indicates that Atlético de Madrid are making serious progress on the Marco Verratti case. However, the case remains “very complicated”.
It has now been eleven years since Marco Verratti landed at Paris Saint-Germain. The former Pescara has become a figure of the Parisian club, Qatar version and has therefore never left PSG. However, he wanted to, as for example in 2017 when he wanted to join FC Barcelona. A wish quickly cooled by his management who forbade him to move. Six years later, the possibility of a departure of the “little owl” is again mentioned. Atlético de Madrid is studying the subject very seriously.
The information was confirmed on Sunday by brand who explained that the Colchoneros were looking for a number 5. Marco Verratti would be the priority target for this position. The Spanish media then added that the club from the Spanish capital were following “ all the steps “allowing to make the operation feasible, even if all this is announced” very difficult“, by Atlético’s own admission. The latter, however, is counting on the changes seen in recent weeks on the side of Paris Saint-Germain, with Qatar’s desire to regain power over the players, even if it means separating from some of them.
Verratti in no hurry to leave?
On his side, brand assures that PSG “ is open to a possible sale of a player like Verratti“, even if the Italian remains important. As for the sum that Atlético should pay, it is estimated at around seventy million euros. An amount that could prove to be a serious brake on Madrid’s desire to recruit the transalpine international. Finally, it remains to be seen what Marco Verratti wants to do. For the moment, the latter does not seem to be willing to leave his Parisian comfort.
