Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says Qatari team Al-Arabi is nearing the acquisition of PSG midfielder Marco Verratti.
The 30-year-old Verratti has been left out of PSG’s Champions League squad and has received instructions from manager Luis Enrique and sporting director Luis Campos to seek a new club.
In the Qatari transfer market, which remains open until September 18th, PSG is seeking approximately €50 million for the services of the Italian international.
On a separate note, Al Duhail is making significant progress towards securing a loan deal for Aston Villa forward Philippe Coutinho. The Brazilian international declined offers from Besiktas and Real Betis in favour of a move to Qatar.
