Liverpool could exploit PSG’s transfer policy to sign midfielder Marco Verratti, to replace the midfield duo, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, this summer.
Henderson and Fabinho countdown to leaving Liverpool
Henderson is about to move to Saudi Pro League team, Al Ettifaq , ending 12 years with the Anfield team. The Liverpool captain has received a “life-changing” offer from the club being led by Kop legend Steven Gerrard. If the deal goes through, Liverpool will have to appoint a new club captain.
However, in the context that midfielder Fabinho is also negotiating a move to the Saudi Pro League, it is clear that coach Jurgen Klopp needs more personnel to supplement the midfield. As revealed by L’Equipe, Verratti is being interested by the Merseyside team. And Liverpool can take advantage of PSG’s transfer rules to own the signature of the Italian star.
Liverpool can take advantage of PSG’s “laws” to sign Verratti
According to L’Equipe, PSG have set a transfer rule this summer, when every first-team player is up for sale. That includes key players, with Verratti being one of Europe’s top assists since arriving at PSG in the summer of 2012, no exception. However, Atletico Madrid are also interested in the EURO 2020 champion, who has a contract at the Park of the Princes until the summer of 2026.
At 30, Verratti is at his prime and will be a quality addition to Liverpool’s midfield. Verratti won Euro 2020 with Italy and helped PSG reach the Champions League final 2020.
Liverpool could take advantage of the remarks the PSG star made about the club in 2018, before the Champions League group stage match between the two teams – FourFourTwo quoted:
“Before Liverpool, everything was good because we won all our games, but Liverpool will be different. They are a very good team at home.”
