Liverpool is reportedly among the clubs considering a move for PSG midfielder Marco Verratti during the summer transfer window. As they seek to fill the void from the potential departure of Fabinho, the Reds are actively searching for a new specialist No.6. Various names are emerging as potential targets in their pursuit of strengthening their midfield. However, Verratti’s name has surfaced as one of the potential options for Liverpool.
According to L’Equipe, there is a fresh addition to the list of clubs interested in signing Marco Verratti for the Premier League. They suggest that Liverpool is one of the two English clubs that are making efforts to bring the midfielder.
Reports say that PSG is open to selling Marco Verratti this summer as they change their direction. The Italian midfielder is reportedly open to the idea of leaving the club. Hence, there appears to be no shortage of interested clubs vying for his signature.
How can Verratti prove effective to Liverpool?
It’s true that Marco Verratti would undoubtedly enhance Liverpool’s midfield options. However, it seems that we can confidently exclude the possibility of this transfer happening.
Indeed, Liverpool may consider signing a more experienced player to replace Fabinho in their midfield. However, it is highly unlikely that they would be willing to spend around £70 million on such a player. Especially one who will turn 31 in November. The club is known for its prudent approach to transfers and tends to avoid significant outlays on players nearing their 30s.
While Marco Verratti’s time at PSG has been characterized by numerous league titles, it might have overshadowed the true extent of his quality and impact as a midfielder. Playing in France could have led to some underrating of his abilities. As the focus tends to be on the domestic success of the team rather than individual performances. Investing in Verratti could bring significant quality to Liverpool’s midfield. Hence, his overall contribution could outweigh any concerns about his age and potential cost.
