Marco Verratti leaving Al Arabi?
Marco Verratti is poised to embark on a new journey while remaining in Qatar. After spending two seasons with Al-Arabi, the Italian midfielder is on the verge of transferring to Al-Duhail. Foot Mercato reported that the agreement has been finalized, with the former PSG player set to join the vice-champion national team on a free transfer, thus concluding his tenure with the club that ranked ninth in the last Qatar Stars League. Verratti is expected to bolster a squad already abundant in talent, featuring players such as Hakim Ziyech, Benjamin Bourigeaud, and Luis Alberto. Even though coach Christophe Galtier recently departed, Verratti perceives this as a new challenge within a familiar setting, with significantly elevated ambitions.
