  • Verratti does not feature in coach's plans
  • Manager communicated to the player
  • Linked with Saudi and Qatari clubs

WHAT HAPPENED? Marco Verratti, who extended his stay at Paris Saint-Germain a couple of months back, is all set to move out of the club after manager Luis Enrique communicated to him that the midfielder does not feature in his plans. According to Le Parisien, Enrique reportedly told the Italian: "You will never play with me."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Verratti has not featured in any of PSG's matchday squads in the Ligue 1 thus far despite being part of the squad that traveled to Asia for pre-season. The 30-year-old has been linked with a move to a number of Saudi Pro League clubs including Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli all through the summer and in recent times Qatar Stars League side Al-Arabi have shown interest in the player.

However, it has been reported that he is most likely to reunite with Neymar at Al-Hilal, who have already reached an agreement with PSG.
