Verratti has been mentioned in connection with Manchester United and Newcastle, although a transfer to the Saudi Pro League seems more likely. Al Arabi in Qatar are also interested.
In the early days of his tenure, Enrique had learnt of Verratti’s love of the Parisian nightlife, which had given him the nickname “Owl.” The midfielder wasn’t a good fit for what the new PSG coach had in mind, he decided while on tour.
Veratti, who has been with PSG since 2012, is supposedly no longer a part of their plans. The French powerhouses are eager to offload their star midfielder as soon as possible despite his more than ten years of service to the organisation. Marco Veratti has reportedly been connected to a move to Saudi Arabia. According to rumours, the PSG star was coveted by Al-Hilal of the Saudi Pro League.
Al-Hilal was planning to add another PSG star to his roster after spending a significant amount of money to purchase Neymar Jr. The transaction, however, failed because Al-Hilal refused to pay PSG’s hefty asking price for its Italian star.
