This time, it seems that it is over. Pending departure all summer, Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti made the trip during the night from Monday to Tuesday to reach Doha where his new club, Al-Arabi SC (Qatarian D1), awaits him.
His arrival at Doha International Airport, accompanied by his wife Jessica Aïdi and his new agent, former Parisian player Scherrer Maxwell, was captured by the cameras of the local sports television channel Alkass, to which Marco Verratti reserved his first words, in French. ” I am very happy. I am excited to begin. I hope we’re going to have a great season, that we’re going to have a lot of desire and I can’t wait to discover the stadium, the supporters, the club and the coach (the Qatari Younès Ali). »
The 30-year-old Italian international (55 caps), who was not part of Luis Enrique’s plans nor the Parisian list for the Champions League, must now, this Tuesday, undergo his medical examination prior to signing his contract . PSG and its Qatari counterpart have agreed in recent days to transfer the player for 45 million euros, excluding bonuses.
In Qatar, Verratti will find Abdou Diallo, the former PSG defender, who joined the same club Al-Arabi this summer. Arriving in Paris in 2012, Verratti is the most successful player and was only 20 games away from breaking the record for matches played in the club jersey, held by Jean-Marc Pilorget (435).
