“Verratti Contemplates Leaving Barcelona: L’Equipe Report”

L’Equipe: Verratti is tired, the Italian is also tired of Paris… For eleven years, Verratti knows everything about the capital club like the back of his hand. In private, he has made no secret of his nostalgia for the authority of the dressing room during the Ibrahimovic era. Events in recent weeks have exacerbated that sense of weariness, with Verratti contemplating his future even with his recent contract extension until 2026. The past week has been a hectic one, fueled by insulting songs from extreme fans and a rally in front of Neymar’s house. He, who has a close relationship with Messi, does not really understand why such severe sanctions should be given to the Argentine. The Argentine was banned for two weeks for traveling to Saudi Arabia without authorization from Paris Saint-Germain.
