Atletico Madrid Wants Verratti, But PSG Asks For Too Much Money

Atletico Madrid is interested in Marco Verratti, and PSG is willing to let him go, but the asking price needs to come down.

No player is deemed unsellable, not even Marco Verratti. The Italian midfielder could potentially leave PSG this summer, and Atletico Madrid is considering the option, as reported by L’Equipe. « The second major Madrid club has made Verratti its priority to strengthen its midfield and has entered into negotiations with its Parisian counterpart, but no offer has been made yet. In the entourage of the 2023 French champions, it is acknowledged that this option is ‘hot.' »

However, PSG is currently demanding €80 million, a sum deemed too high for Madrid, which is looking for a more reasonable deal.

Verratti is also attracting interest from two English clubs, « including one that could be Liverpool, and also from Saudi club Al-Hilal, who traveled to Paris in June to try to convince him to consider their project, » as explained by L’Equipe.
