The “little owl”, who spent eleven seasons at PSG, will have the right to a tribute at the Parc des Princes.
During the night from Monday to Tuesday, Marco Verratti arrived in Qatar. His transfer to Al-Arabi will be made official in the coming hours. “I’m very happy, I can’t wait to start this season, the Italian international told Alkass TVSport. I hope that we will have a good season, that we will have a lot of desire. I can’t wait to discover everything, the stadium, the supporters, the club, my teammates, the coach. »
According to The Parisian, a tribute to the “little owl” is indeed planned at the Parc de Princes. Friday, the capital club will host OGC Nice on the occasion of the fifth day of Ligue 1. Verratti’s farewell will perhaps take place that evening. In any case, the regional daily specifies that “the fact that the club pays tribute in one way or another to its oldest player is obvious”, citing a source close to the club.
Marco Verratti has arrived in Qatar! 🇶🇦
To think that this player, who has been at PSG for more than 10 years, is going to leave Ligue 1… Whether we like it or not, it still feels weird!

In recent years, Paris Saint-Germain has missed the opportunity several times to pay tribute to emblematic players in its history, notably Thiago Silva or Edinson Cavani. As for Neymar, who left for Saudi Arabia this summer, he was content with a simple visit to the PSG Campus to say goodbye to his teammates.
