Speaking at the Golden Boy Awards Ceremony, Marco Verratti’s (30) agent, Rafaela Pimenta, has said that the Italian midfielder’s future is not currently a topic.
Verratti has been at Paris Saint-Germain for over a decade, having arrived at the Parc des Princes from Pescara back in the summer of 2012. However, despite being an established member of PSG’s squad, his future has been called into question in recent weeks. According to Foot Mercato, the Italian midfielder was proposed to Manchester City in a deal that would have seen Bernardo Silva move in the opposite direction. The European champions turned down the move.
RMC Sport have also reported that the player himself would be open to a move away this summer amidst frustration with PSG’s handling of certain situations, notably Lionel Messi’s departure. According to the French publication, Verratti would favour a move back to his native Italy.
However, PSG are currently in flux, and with the impending arrival of Luis Enrique, Verratti’s personal situation at the club could change.
According to the player’s agent, Verratti is not currently thinking about his future. “Let’s not make a mess, the transfer window has only just begun, and I don’t want to make a mess by talking. For now, he is on holiday and we aren’t thinking about his future. Then, we will see. We need two to three weeks to understand the different movements. It’s still early,” said Pimenta in an interview transcribed by Sky Sports Italia.
