Not called up for the match against Toulouse this Saturday (9 p.m.), Marco Verratti could leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
The question has been driving the debate for several weeks: will Marco Verratti still be a Paris Saint-Germain player in September, after the transfer window closes? As things stand, nothing is less certain. The little Italian has never hidden his attachment to the club of the capital and to France. A speech he was still holding 8 months ago, after having extended his contract. Arrived in 2012, the midfielder is the player with the greatest seniority in the Parisian group.
But this beautiful setting has been tarnished by the events of spring. Weakened by a more contrasting sporting performance, Marco Verratti did not appear at ease. Tired of a climate of permanent tension, the Italian international was also taken to task by supporters at the end of the season, in the same way as Lionel Messi and Neymar, to whom he was close. A series of facts that deeply affected the player.
Riolo balances his version on the soap opera Verratti
In this context, Marco Verratti would wonder about his future, when he has an offer from Saudi Arabia to join his friend Neymar at Al-Hilal. Known for his very clear-cut positions on the player, Daniel Riolo spoke on this file. ” My job is not to like or not like the players. I look objectively at what they do. I’ve heard for years that the whole world adores him, that everyone wants him… Luis Enrique told him ‘get out’. Luis Enrique, the players he wants to keep, he keeps them… There is no debate, he doesn’t want Verratti“.
It should be noted that the Italian midfielder was not called up for the trip to Toulouse this Saturday (9 p.m.), although he had taken part in training sessions with the club. The end of this soap opera is near.
