Luis Enrique, head coach of PSG, took a rather dramatic action when he officially fired star Marco Verratti.
The target of Man United was ‘expelled’ by coach Enrique in public.
Marco Verratti has been notified by coach Luis Enrique that he will not be participating in his plans for this season. The Spanish player has a really hostile attitude toward this midfielder, according to Le Parisien newspaper. The phrase “You will never play in my squad” is used specifically.
Given that Marco Verratti’s level has never been poor, this is a truly surprising move for the supporters. The midfielder was also chosen by Neymar himself as one of the best teammates he has ever had. I knew Verratti was a terrific player, but I didn’t understand how great he was, the Brazilian claimed. Besides Xavi, he is a genius and one of the best players I’ve ever played with.
Coach Enrique declared in the open
Despite signing a new contract with PSG a few months ago, Marco Verratti’s future in France is now uncertain due to the hiring of Luis Enrique as head coach. Verratti took part in the summer’s Asian tour as a member of the French team. However, the player has yet to appear in a Ligue 1 game while on the PSG roster.
Many of the Italian player’s flaws were noted by coach Luis Enrique, including his nightlife and lack of professionalism. The new PSG coach is essentially imposing martial law in order to rebuild the team in a structured manner. This criticism of Marco Verratti is not new; just a few days ago, Jerome Rothen claimed on RMC that the Italian midfielder is known for his penchant for drinking, smoking, and partying.
Coach Enrique declared in the open
Since 2012, Marco Verratti has played for PSG after playing for Pescara. The French squad has used this player in 416 games, scoring 11 goals and setting up 54 others. With PSG, the 30-year-old has 30 major and minor championships to his name, including nine Ligue 1 triumphs.
When Ten Hag was seeking a midfielder who could keep the rhythm and play the game for the Red Devils, Verratti was once on his radar. The Italian star’s wage and bonus demands were not acceptable to Ten Hag’s present squad, so the agreement fell through.
Coach Enrique declared in the open
Numerous clubs in the Arab League, including Neymar’s Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli, are reportedly interested in signing the Italian international. Al-Arabi is another person who expresses a particular interest in Marco Verratti. However, it is expected that the 30-year-old player will join this squad given that his former teammate Neymar plays for Al-Hilal.
The amount Chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi expects to be paid for this agreement is around $50 million USD. Less than 48 hours remain for the transfer market to close. Verratti will be estranged from Luis Enrique if he stays at PSG or decides to leave.
