Due to a conflict with PSG's head coach Luis Enrique, veteran midfielder Marco Verratti was forced to move to Qatari side Al-Arabi to avoid facing his beloved club. However, just over a year later, the 32-year-old Italian could be making his return to European football.
Details: According to Marca, one realistic option for continuing his career on the old continent is Inter Milan. However, it is not yet clear who has made or plans to make the first move to initiate talks for a potential transfer.
What is currently known is that a major stumbling block in the negotiations is Verratti's salary. At PSG, he earned around 15 million euros per year. The player's contract with his current employer expires on July 1, 2025. In any case, over time, more clubs are expected to show interest.
Reminder: Earlier, Barcelona showed interest in Verratti’s services, but the move never materialized.
