“Good luck for your new stage!!! You know I always wish you the best. » This is the rather banal message that Lionel Messi posted on Instagram on Wednesday to the attention of Marco Verratti, who had officially committed to the Qatari club Al-Arabi a few hours earlier.
It is more the choice of illustration which does not lack spice. Indeed, the Argentinian who played alongside the Italian at PSG during the last two seasons, chose a photo bringing together the two players, not in the Parisian jersey but in the context of an Argentina – Italy in June 2022 (3-0). Some will see this option as a new dig from La Pulga towards the capital club, which has not failed to criticize PSG since his departure.
Or at the very least a desire to no longer make the slightest reference to the French club.
But if he does not or no longer carries PSG in his heart, the seven-time Ballon d’Or has in any case not failed to publicly express a mark of sympathy for the attention of the small Italian midfielder, who in eleven seasons has become a emblematic PSG player.
Messi has followed in the footsteps of many of Verratti’s former teammates since the announcement of the latter’s transfer to Qatar. In recent days, the Italian has received numerous messages from veterans such as Blaise Matuidi, Ezequiel Lavezzi, Serge Aurier, Giovani Lo Celso and Kevin Trapp.
Closer to him, Verratti was also greeted by message from Achraf Hakimi, Danilo Pereira, Carlos Soler, Nordi Mukiele, Colin Dagba and Kylian Mbappé.
