Behind the scenes of the meeting between the new PSG coach and the Italian midfielder is revealed. Pressure to force the player to accept Al Ahli's offer, to then speed up the acquisition of striker Kolo Muani.
Luis Enrique was clear, but also very harsh, when he explained to Marco Verratti that there is no longer a place for him at PSG. According to 'Le Parisien', the Spanish coach, in the presence of sports director Luis Campos, told the Italian player: "You will never play with me".
An absurd situation, because Verrati has participated in the Asian tournament, unlike the players who were out of the plans and Kylian Mbappé, who at that time had a conflict with the club about the contract. In fact, Verrati has been considering leaving PSG since May and is evaluating alternatives, but has been training regularly with the team.
Luis Enrique has gone from words to facts and has not collected it for the championship matches. A way not to create unnecessary risks, seeing that there is interest in the player from different clubs. The first was Al Hilal, which approached three times the player's salary, but the offer for PSG was not enough.
Al Ahli then entered the game, who now have to make room for foreigners in the team. At the moment, the offer did not exceed 45 million euros for the midfielder's card. There is also an interest from Al Arabi in Qatar, but also from some European clubs, who have not made concrete proposals anyway.
