Neymar’s transfer tip: PSG ace urges Liverpool to consider signing Marco Verratti

Amidst Jurgen Klopp’s ongoing efforts to strengthen Liverpool’s squad for the upcoming season, reports from France suggest that the club is considering an unexpected move for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star Marco Verratti.

The summer transfer window has already witnessed the departures of Roberto Firmino, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita from Anfield last month. On the other hand, Liverpool has welcomed new midfield talents in the form of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. Fans are eager to see the duo in action, as they might make their debuts for the Reds in an upcoming pre-season friendly against Karlsruher in Germany.

However, uncertainty surrounds Fabinho’s future at Liverpool, with recent reports indicating that Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal has made a tempting £40m offer for the Brazilian midfielder. Additionally, speculation also links Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson with a potential move to Saudi Arabia, where Steven Gerrard’s Al Etiffaq is reportedly interested in signing him. Furthermore, Football Insider suggests that Liverpool is open to offers for midfielder Thiago Alcantara, indicating the club’s readiness to consider potential midfield reinforcements.

Amidst these developments, French outlet L’Equipe (via Get French Football News) reports that Liverpool has shown interest in the 30-year-old Italian international Marco Verratti. Currently contracted with PSG for another three years, Verratti is also in talks with Atletico Madrid, but Liverpool is seemingly keeping a close eye on the situation, ready to step in should negotiations falter.

Verratti has been an integral part of PSG for 11 seasons, contributing 11 goals in 416 games and helping the club secure nine Ligue 1 titles. His talents have not gone unnoticed, as his teammate Neymar lauded him as a “genius” after a Champions League victory over Real Madrid in 2022, placing him in the same esteemed company as Xavi and Iniesta.

As the transfer window continues and managerial changes take place, it remains to be seen whether Marco Verratti will stay at PSG or embark on a new chapter in his career at Anfield with Liverpool. Klopp and his team are undoubtedly exploring every option to bolster their midfield and build a squad capable of challenging for top honors in the upcoming season.
