Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti is set to join Qatari side Al Arabi in a deal worth €45 million.
The Italian midfielder has been at PSG for 11 seasons, making over 400 appearances and winning eight Ligue 1 titles. However, he has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months, and it now appears that he is set to join Al Arabi.
Verratti is expected to travel to Doha in the next 24 hours to complete the move. He will sign a four-year contract with Al Arabi, reportedly worth €10 million per season.
The move is a coup for Al Arabi, who are looking to improve their squad ahead of the 2023-24 season. Verratti is one of the best midfielders in the world, and his arrival will be a major boost for the Qatari club.
The 29-year-old Verratti is a creative and intelligent midfielder who is known for his passing, dribbling, and ball control. He is also a good defender and has a knack for scoring goals.
Verratti’s move to Al Arabi is a surprise to many, as he was reportedly close to joining Barcelona in the summer. However, it appears that he has decided to move to Qatar for a new challenge.
Verratti’s departure is a blow to PSG, who have lost one of their key players. However, the club will be able to reinvest the money they receive from Al Arabi in other players.
It remains to be seen how Verratti will adapt to life in Qatar. However, he is a talented player who has the potential to be a success in the Middle East.
