Where will Marco Verratti play once this summer transfer window is over? It’s hard to say, but one thing is certain, it will most likely be far from the Parc des Princes. For several weeks already, the Italian has been more or less pushed towards the exit by Paris Saint-Germain. Luis Campos and Luis Enrique had notably informed him, during this famous meeting in which Neymar was also present, that he was not part of the club’s plans for this 2023/2024 financial year.
Since then, the player trained in Pescara has been at the heart of many rumours. Atlético de Madrid was thus presented as a serious contender, but the Colchoneros did not follow up. Then, Saudi Arabia arrived in force, and Marco Verratti would even already have an agreement with Al-Ahli. Finally, on Sunday, there was talk of a very strong interest from Al-Arabi in Qatar…
An interest that does not date from today…
And now a new club showed up. According to DailyMirror, Manchester United are now seriously considering the possibility of going on the attack for the transalpine midfielder. The Mancunians want to strengthen their midfield after several departures, such as that of Fred and Sabitzer, and the Red Devils could thus make an offer by the end of the transfer window.
The outlet explains that in the past, the Premier League club were already interested in the Italian’s services, but never materialized this interest with an official offer. In particular because José Mourinho had vetoed it when he was on the bench at Old Trafford. It is recalled that in this case, PSG is claiming an amount of around 50 million euros. A quite affordable sum for the English ogre.
