The transfer market keeps moving and Carlo Ancelotticoach of real Madridhas put on the table the name of Marco Verratti as a priority objective to reinforce the merengue team. According to information from 90min, the Italian midfielder wants to end his stage at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for two fundamental reasons.
First of all, Verratti has forged a strong friendship with Lionel Messi during his time at PSG. Now that the Argentine star will leave the Parisian club, the Italian does not want to continue there either. Messi’s departure has left an emotional void in the Italian player, which has awakened his interest in seeking new horizons and new challenges in his football career.
Ancelotti insists on the signing of Marco Verratti for Real Madrid
In addition to his friendship with Messi, Verratti also yearns to win important titles. Despite his outstanding performance and consistency at PSG since he joined the club at the age of 20, the Italian midfielder has failed to lift major trophies at European level. This lack of success has fueled his desire to seek new challenges and opportunities with another team.
Although there are great interested parties in Verratti in the Premier League, especially teams with economic power to deal with his signing without problems, in Spain it is Carlo Ancelotti who insists on the arrival of the Italian midfielder at Real Madrid. Ancelotti knows Verratti inside out, having worked together at PSG in the past, which allows him to see his qualities and potential.
Ancelotti’s main argument before the Real Madrid board is that Verratti is currently in a better physical condition than players like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. During the tie against Manchester City, Modric and Kroos proved not to be able to maintain an optimal level during the 90 minutes against high-calibre opponents, which is understandable due to their age. Ancelotti believes that a defensive midfielder like Verratti would be perfect to accompany promising youngsters like Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde.
In addition, the Italian coach considers that Verratti far surpasses Aurélien Tchouaméni in terms of ball handling and technical skills.
Marco Verratti’s future is up in the air, but with interest from Real Madrid and insistence from Carlo Ancelotti, we may see the talented Italian midfielder don the white shirt next season. Merengue fans will be attentive to the movements in the transfer market and are looking forward to the possible arrival of Verratti to strengthen the team in its search for titles.
