Verratti, Saudi Arabia is jostling

Marco Verrati has been playing at PSG for eleven years now. This year, the Italian could well leave Ligue 1 to join Saudi Arabia.

Last Wednesday, several media announced with insistence that Marco Verratti was close to committing himself in favor of Al-Hilal. According to Gazzetta dello Sportit is a salary of 52 million euros per year that awaited Verratti within the Saudi club, with a three-season contract at stake.

According The Team, another Saudi Pro League outfit are said to have their sights on the Italy international. It would be Al-Ahli, who would have positioned himself on the “Little Owl” in recent days. Paris Saint-Germain leaders are not said to be strongly opposed to the idea of ​​selling Verratti. However, they hope to recoup a transfer fee well above the €30m offered by Al-Hilal.

Luis Enrique’s position on this issue could also count greatly. In private, the Spanish technician assures that he is counting on Marco Verratti. During the preparation matches, the former FC Barcelona coach tests Manuel Ugarte, young Ndour, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz. That doesn’t stop him from thinking the Italian could be one of his go-to men in his future midfield.
