The Italian midfielder is on the verge of completing a move to Parc des Princes and is excited at the chance of being linked up with the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029
Just a few weeks back, not many people knew much about Marco Verratti. The youngster was playing in Italian Serie B for Pescara and was making all the right noises in Italy. Many people have been impressed with the youngster’s performances that helped the club win promotion back to Serie A.
So much was the talk of his performances that Italian national team manager, Cesare Prandelli had to call him to the provisional squad for Euro 2012.
Many people have gone on to compare him with Juventus star Andrea Pirlo. Today, the 19-year-old is considered to be one of the greatest hopes of Italian football. Many Italian clubs including Milan and Juventus have been keeping tabs on the player but it now appears that Verratti’s preference is playing in the French Ligue 1.
Reports claim that Paris Saint-Germain sporting director http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056 is in advanced contacts with the player and his agent and the club is willing to compensate Pescara with 12 million euros to let go of their prized asset.
The youngster is on the verge of signing a contract with the Parisians and will be competing with the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Motta-c34897 and Clement Chantome (if he stays) for a place in the starting XI.
Arrived at the Roissy http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Charles-c8808 de Gaulle airport, the youngster seemed in good spirits. While talking to reporters, Verratti said that he has just made one of the biggest decisions in his life and revealed that not all Italian players prefer staying in Italy.
“This is one of the most important choices in my life, I am very happy and enthusiastic. I cannot wait for it to start. When I saw PSG’s offer, I did not hesitate. Football is like that. It does not have to be that Italians remain in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926. We can go abroad, it is our right.”
Many people have been critical of Verratti’s decision but the youngster may have done the right thing by choosing a league where the media will give him the space he needs.
