After a year and a half under the colors of Al-Arabi in Qatar, Marco Verratti could well return to the spotlight of European football this winter. The former PSG maestro, who left the French capital in 2023, would now be in the sights of Inter Milan. The Lombard club, always looking for quality reinforcements for its midfield, is closely monitoring the contractual situation of the Italian midfielder, whose commitment with Al-Arabi expires next June.
Marco Verrattia true icon of the Qatari era of PSGcould soon return to the summits of European football. The Italian midfielder, who left his mark in the French capital between 2012 and 2023, saw his adventure at PSG ending abruptly last summer. The arrival of Luis Enrique as coach precipitated his departure, leaving little room for one of the most technical players of his generation in the new Parisian project. This is how Verratti took the direction of Qatar, engaging with Al-Arabi for an amount of around €45 million. If this transfer raised questions about his choice to move away from the European elite at only 32 years old, the idea of a return to the Old Continent now seems to be taking shape. After a season spent playing in a much less demanding championship, Verratti could try to revive his career at the highest level
Inter want Verratti
According to the Spanish media MARK, Inter Milan would be strongly interested in the recruitment of Marco Verratti, whose contract in Qatar expires next June. This operation could see the light of day from the winter transfer window, thus offering the Italian midfielder an unprecedented opportunity to set foot on the grounds of Serie A, a championship that he has never experienced despite his transalpine origins.
An unexpected return to Europe?
Recruited by the PSG in 2012 from Pescarawhich then evolved into Serie B, Verratti had chosen to write his legend in Ligue 1becoming a pillar of the Parisian midfield for more than a decade. If his transfer to the Gulf was surprising, a return to Europe, and more particularly to a prestigious club like l’Intercould relaunch his career at a high level. For the Nerazzurrithe arrival of Verratti would represent real added value, thanks to its international experience and technical quality. The next few weeks promise to be decisive for the Milanese club, which will have to quickly close the deal if it wants to integrate the former Parisian maestro into its plans from January.
