Chelsea and Liverpool are the latest clubs to fall short in comparison to the financial muscle of Saudi Arabian clubs as they look set to miss out on Marco Verratti.
Chelsea and Liverpool are set to miss out on the signing of Marco Verratti as the two clubs become the latest to fall victim to the financial muscle of Saudi Arabian clubs. The PSG midfielder was reportedly a target for Mauricio Pochettino and Jurgen Klopp this summer as both bosses try to improve the quality of their midfield options, but they are about to lose out in the race to sign the world-class operator.
Verratti, an Italy international with 55 caps and over 400 appearances for PSG, has been with the Parisian club for 11 years since his switch from Serie B outfit Pescara.
But he is set to bring an end to his time in the French capital this summer as the club prepare for a major shake-up, including the potential exit of Kylian Mbappe.
According to Sky Sports, PSG value Verratti in the region of around £70million, with interest from two Premier League clubs in the Italy international. Chelsea and Liverpool were the clubs mentioned in the report, and that will come as little surprise after Mauricio Pochettino stated his need for more experience to be added to his squad, as well as “at least one midfielder”.
