Report – £60m Azzurri star agrees Liverpool transfer
Share
Liverpool are consistently associated with high quality midfielders and one of them is blue star Marco Verratti.
Three days ago, we reported via Marca that the Reds are set to beat Atletico Madrid to sign the Italian from Paris Saint-Germain, who values their prized asset at €70m (£60m).
More recently, reports from Spain suggest Verratti has agreed to a move to Liverpool.
According to Catalan outlet Nacional, the decorated midfielder has been “OK” to join Jurgen Klopp, who must now reach an agreement with PSG to complete the transfer.
The 30-year-old star was eager to reunite with Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid. However, president Florentino Perez didn’t hesitate to sign him as the La Liga giants already have enough quality and skill in the middle of the park.
It’s worth remembering that Los Blancos blew their budget to sign Jude Bellingham who was top of Liverpool’s wishlist not too long ago.
The Spanish news source claims that Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone was interested in Verratti but fired the Rojiblancos in favor of a move to Anfield.
The veteran has made over 400 appearances for France and won the Ligue 1 title and Super Cup nine times. He also won the Coupe de France and the Coupe de la Ligue six times. The 55-year-old star has thus won thirty national titles, but not even a European trophy with PSG. Maybe it’s time for him to finally walk away.
Not to be forgotten, Verratti was an important member of the Italian national team that won the European Championships under Roberto Mancini two years ago. He provided two assists in the league.
