According to L’Équipe, Marco Verratti’s entourage has issued a counter-proposal to Al-Ahli. The Saudi club has paused discussions with the midfielder of PSG, also courted by Atlético de Madrid or even Galatasaray.
While waiting for his possible departure, PSG is experiencing its start to the season without Marco Verratti. The Parisian club is pushing its midfielder towards the exit and preferred to remove it from the group for the first two days of Ligue 1 while waiting to see the question of its future settled. Driven by delusions of grandeur this summer, Saudi Arabia would like to lure the Italian into their nets.
The track leading to Al-Ahli however takes the lead in the wing. According to the indiscretions of L’Équipe, the Saudi club, which had reached an agreement with the main interested party on the basis of a future contract, put negotiations with Marco Verratti on hold after receiving a counter-proposal from the entourage of the player. Al-Hilal, who has already convinced Neymar, could therefore have free rein on this file.
Galatasaray and Atlético take the temperature
The number 6 of PSG also keeps a certain rating in Europe. Among the more curious suitors, Galatasaray recently inquired about the situation of the Italian and “attempts to place its arguments” despite the economic complexity of such a transfer, we can read in L’Équipe. For its part, France Bleu Paris also explains that Atlético de Madrid has probed PSG. The capital club has indicated that only a dry transfer could be accepted.
