Recently, there were rumors suggesting that Italian midfielder Marco Verratti could return to Serie A, with Italian champions Inter allegedly interested in him.
Details: Tuttosport reports that sources within Inter have denied the rumors of interest in Verratti. The 32-year-old midfielder, who currently plays for Al-Arabi, is not a target for the Milan club due to his age and high salary.
Reminder: According to the publication, the new owners of Inter, Oaktree Capital Management, did not consider signing Verratti. The main reasons are his age and his earnings of €30 million per year at Al-Arabi, an amount too high for any Serie A club or most European teams.
Additionally, the club is focused on rejuvenating the squad, so the 32-year-old, who spent 11 years at PSG, clearly doesn't fit into the strategy of the "Nerazzurri." Even a potential loan move for Verratti is not an attractive option for the club.
