Marco Verratti is having a complicated start to the season. Pushed out by the Parisian leaders, the Italian midfielder had to resolve to leave PSG despite his love for the capital club and go into exile in Qatar. All parties agreed this weekend and his transfer to Al-Arabi should now be made official in the coming hours.
This situation also led to him not being present with the Nazionale for the two qualifying matches for Euro 2024. According to The Team, the native of Pescara would have even refused the call-up of Luciano Spalletti, who succeeded Roberto Mancini on the bench of the Italian selection. Information denied by the technician.
“I didn’t have time to call everyone but I called a few players. I called him and I don’t believe he said that. He told me that he was happy to have received this call and that he would like to help even from afar. That’s also what Bonucci told me. Everyone I spoke to told me so”he explained, adding: “I also spoke to some coaches, others didn’t answer me, maybe they don’t know my number (laughs, editor’s note). But we try to involve as many people as possible. There is a project to carry out and the first thing is to qualify.”
