Salvatore Sirigu made his comeback in Ligue 1 several years after leaving Paris Saint-Germain. It was with OGC Nice that the Italian goalkeeper decided to settle down despite the strong interest from FC Lorient. During his presentation to the press this Tuesday, the now 36-year-old goalkeeper returned to the departure of his compatriot Marco Verratti to Qatar for Al Arabi when he had arrived a year after him, in 2012, and that He was only 19 years old. His departure was also hard to swallow for the former Torino player, he who was present at the Parc des Princes for the meeting between his new and his old team, as he confided to journalists with a little hint of pain and bitterness during his presentation.
“It’s a club that I want well. It’s changed a lot. The other day, when I was at the Park (for PSG-Nice last Friday, editor’s note), I saw (Marco) Verratti leave. It was like seeing the end of an era. Marco was one of the main players. He arrived very young: he could still go to school, he was barely 19 years old. It feels really weird. You thought Paris-Saint-Germain, you thought Verratti. But the project continues. It’s normal. It’s football, it changes, and it changes very quickly. The thing that made me happy was to see people who still work at the club again, that means that the essence remains even if it concerns people who we don’t see on the front of the stage., said Salvatore Sirigu in particular. A statement that should please his former club!
