Announced insistently in Qatar, Marco Verratti has still not found an agreement with Al-Arabi.
Marco Verratti is not part of the list of players registered by Paris Saint-Germain to participate in the Champions League campaign.

Verratti was still not in Doha this week, still waiting to plan his trip »reported journalist Fabrizio Romano on his X account (ex-Twitter).

After this date, if Verratti has not reached an agreement with the club from the Arabian Peninsula, he will remain a Parisian player and will have to wait for the winter market to pack his bags. Unless Luis Enrique decides to reinstate him in the meantime…
