Spanish outlet Fichajes reports that Manchester United is showing interest in acquiring the services of Marco Verratti, the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Manchester United has emerged as a potential suitor for Paris Saint-Germain’s talented midfielder, Marco Verratti. As per reputable Spanish outlet Fichajes, the English giants have set their sights on acquiring the services of the Italian maestro during the upcoming summer transfer window.
According to Fichajes’ reports, Verratti, at the age of 30, has grown disillusioned with PSG’s ongoing project and is disheartened by recent criticism from the club’s loyal fanbase. This dissatisfaction has prompted the midfielder to seriously consider exploring new opportunities outside of France.
Known for their quest to strengthen the midfield, Manchester United have been extensively linked with a host of talented players in recent times, including Gabri Veiga, Frenkie de Jong, Matheus Nunes, and Alexis Mac Allister. However, Verratti has emerged as a standout contender for their midfield reinforcement.
Since his move from Pescara to PSG in 2012, Verratti has carved a reputation as one of the finest midfielders in the world. With 78 appearances across all competitions for the French powerhouse, the Italian international has notched two goals and contributed 11 assists in the process.
Verratti’s impressive contributions have been instrumental in PSG’s domestic success, playing a pivotal role in clinching several Ligue 1 titles, Coupe de France, Coupe de la Ligue, and Trophée des Champions. Additionally, he has helped the club reach the UEFA Champions League final, narrowly missing out on the prestigious trophy.
However, it appears that Manchester United will face stiff competition in their pursuit of Verratti’s signature. Tottenham Hotspur, another Premier League side, as well as Serie A giants Juventus, have also expressed a keen interest in securing the services of the Italian midfield maestro.
