Reports suggest that Chelsea have shown an inclination towards acquiring Marco Verratti’s services, given that the Italian midfielder has declined a potential move to Saudi Arabia.

Foot Mercato have indicated that the Blues are currently evaluating the possibility of securing Verratti’s signature, especially after failing to secure Moises Caicedo from Brighton, who is on the verge of joining Liverpool.

 

  • Verratti’s preference is to remain in Europe
  • PSG is prepared to sell the player
  • Mauricio Pochettino holds admiration for Verratti’s abilities

Furthermore, Verratti has undergone a change in his preferences, expressing a desire to remain in Europe rather than consider options in the Middle East.

This shift in stance has captured the attention of Chelsea, who now find themselves intrigued by the prospect of adding the seasoned player to their midfield roster.

Verratti’s familiarity with Mauricio Pochettino’s managerial approach adds to his appeal as a potential signing for Chelsea.
