Marco Verratti is pushed out by the leaders of PSG. A choice that Jérôme Rothen totally understands.
Since 2012, Marco Verratti has been a player for Paris Saint-Germain. However, the Italian international has never seemed so close to leaving the capital club. Sought by two clubs in Saudi Arabia, the number 6 of the Red and Blue also has a serious lead in Qatar.
According to Jérôme Rothen, the “little owl” should not continue his Parisian adventure. “His contract extension at the start of the year, he did not deserve it. The leaders made a mistake. They try to fix it by making it go away”estimated the sports consultant, Thursday evening, in the program that bears his name on RMC. You can’t send this message to your locker room, from a guy who plays 60% of the matches, who is often very tired in the 60th minute when there’s a lot of rhythm, who spends his time having parties, smoking, to drink… And these are things that are harmful to the image of the club. And he’s not hiding. He doesn’t have to do certain things. When the ills of PSG are mainly on the image sent by its stars, of which he is a part, when you want to rebuild something different, it is dramatic to keep Verratti. He will not change his state of mind. »

Last December, Marco Verratti extended his contract with PSG until June 2026. As a reminder, the midfielder trained in Pescara is the most successful player in the history of the club founded in 1970.
