Obviously very close to Marco Verratti, whose departure from PSG was made official on Wednesday, Kylian Mbappé sent a nice farewell message to the Italian midfielder.
Despite six years of difference, Kylian Mbappé and Marco Verratti have formed strong bonds of friendship. The departure of the “Little Owl” to Qatar (to Al-Arabi) was made official on Wednesday by PSG. The Italian midfielder, 30, leaves the French capital after a great adventure of eleven seasons, marked by great performances and numerous absences. The player played 416 matches (for 11 goals), becoming the most successful player in the club’s history.
Mbappé did not hide his disappointment at seeing Verratti leave. He paid tribute to him in a story on his Instagram: “ An exceptional player and person. Having the privilege of being by your side all these years has been an immense pleasure. Your time here will never be forgotten or neglected. One of the best players I have seen. THANK YOU my friend, I will miss you very much “.
Arriving in 2017 at the Rouge et Bleu, the French prodigy has won Ligue 1 five times, the Coupe de France three times and the League Cup twice with the Italian international. They also played in the Champions League final in 2020, lost to Bayern (1-0). Verratti (only) came on in the 65th minute of the match.
