Verratti from bad to worse

Marco Verratti, who grew up in Qatar, is not part of the new Italian selection.

This is confirmed: Marco Verratti is part of Luciano Spalletti’s plans, the selection of the Azzurri on October 18, a success for Roberto Mancini. In this case, the launch of the call for the international race takes place every October. And like a month earlier, the former Parisian is not part of the party.

To face Malta in Bari, on October 14, and England at Wembley, three days later – two matches counting for the Euro 2024 qualifiers – the Transalpines will do without the fresh midfielder being transferred from Paris to Doha , in Qatar, be your Al-Arabi club. And this despite the playing time recently accumulated by the native of Pescara.
