Previously on the radar of Barcelona when he was a player at Paris Saint-Germain, the 31-year-old Italian midfielder, Marco Verratti, has come into Barcelona’s sights again after being offered to the club.
FC Barcelona continues to work on its squad for the 2024-2025 season. The team from the city of Barcelona has a number of open fronts with the clear goal of meeting the demands of Xavi Hernández, who will ultimately continue on the bench and has requested various pieces to improve his project.
Marco Verratti offered to Barcelona
Among the priorities for the club is to strengthen the midfield with a new central midfielder, a position that has shown weaknesses at key moments this season. Several names have emerged as possible additions, although none have yet materialized.
In this regard, it’s worth noting the information released by Mundo Deportivo. According to this source, FC Barcelona has been offered Marco Verratti, a former Paris Saint Germain footballer who was long a priority but whose signing could never be finalized due to repeated refusals from Paris.
Not a priority
Now, at 31 years old and currently playing for Al Arabi in the Qatar league, Verratti is open to the idea of returning to Europe and donning the Blaugrana jersey.
However, the club does not see the Italian as a priority, as there are serious doubts about his competitive level after a year in a second-tier league. Will FC Barcelona change its mind?
