No Blaugrana shirt for the midfielder from Pescara, but after a long time he can set foot in our championship.
Last summer was that of the crazy market in Saudi Arabia, where sensational footballers arrived thanks to the sensational wages offered by Arab clubs. In all this turmoil, however, there was an absolute top player who decided to go and earn several millions, but in another country, namely Qatar. Marco Verrattiafter almost breaking up with Paris Saint Germain, he decided to move to Al Arabi.
The Qatari club paid the sum of 45 million euros for the player from Pescara, but above all they put a monstrous salary on the plate for the midfielder, worth 30 million euros until June 2025. Despite the stratospheric sums that he is earning, however, the 31-year-old seems to be already fed up with the low-level football that is played in Qatar, and he would like to return to Europe as soon as possible.
Even in the last few hours there has been talk of the fact that his agent would have proposed him to Barcelona, who had already been on his trail in the past, but without ever landing the blow definitively. However, this time too, a landing in Catalonia risks remaining only a hypothesis, given that the Blaugrana are not very convinced of the deal. Nonetheless, his return to Europe could materialize anyway, where our championship is waiting for him.
Verratti-Serie A, it’s about time
It’s curious to see how one of the best Italian footballers of recent years has never played in Serie A. However, this taboo could soon end, given that Verratti’s desire to return to playing at a high level could end with his return to Italy.
His contract with Al Arabi, which expires in 2025, as mentioned is very rich, but the midfielder he is willing to reduce it a lot in order to leave. Italian clubs also should pay only a minimum amount for your cardgiven that, as mentioned, the player would be released in just over a year.
Here’s where the former Pescara player could play
Certainly anyone would like a player of Verratti’s caliber in their squad in our championship, but to date there are mainly two teams that could welcome him.
One is Juventus, always on his trail and who will completely recast the midfield in the summer. The other one is Napleswhich wants to start again with a new course.
