Share

Liverpool and Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) midfielder Marco Verratti this summer.

As per Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol, the Parisians are open to letting Verratti leave this summer.

The Italian midfielder joined the club from Pescara in 2012 and has since made 416 appearances, contributing 11 goals and 61 assists. He has also won nine Ligue 1 titles, among other honors.

Verratti could now leave PSG this summer, with Liverpool and Chelsea interested. The Parisians will demand around £70 million for the Italian, with his contract expiring in 2026.

The Reds have signed Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai this summer but they could need more reinforcements. James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita have already left the club on free transfers.

As per transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Jordan Henderson is set to join Al-Ettifaq while Fabinho is attracting interest from Al-Ittihad. Liverpool are, hence, in the market for more midfielders.

Chelsea, meanwhile, have also seen a number of midfielders leave the club this summer. Mason Mount, N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have all departed while Jorginho left in January earlier this year.

The Blues have also been heavily linked with a move for Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo. It is unclear if they see Verratti as an alternate for Caicedo or want to sign both this summer.
