In the recent transfer market, the Italian midfielder Marco Verratti became one of the protagonists of a surprising transfer. Luis Enrique, the PSG coach, pointed out Verratti as one of the players who should leave the Parisian club. This move marked the end of an era for the talented midfielder, who had been a leading figure in the team for over a decade.

During the month of August, Verratti was not called up for any game by the PSG coach, and during the preseason he barely had any starting opportunities. It was clear that he did not fit into Luis Enrique's plans, and there was no intention of integrating him into the first team.

Verratti did not play a game in August by decision of the PSG coach, and in the preseason he was barely a starter. It was evident that he had no place in Luis Enrique's plans, and there was no desire to have him in the first team. The midfielder had always received criticism for his lifestyle and physical fitness, which were seen as inferior to his undisputed talent.

Furthermore, his frequent injuries had prevented him from establishing himself at PSG on a regular basis. The last season of the Champions League was especially painful for the Parisian team, which lost in the round of 16 against Bayern, and Verratti had serious mistakes in the second leg, which outraged fans.

What Enrique said to Verrati

Luis Enrique had his plan for PSG since the beginning of June, and Verratti was not part of his plans. This is what the Asturian coach let the Italian midfielder know, with a harsh and direct message, according to the newspaper Le Parisien, he told him: "You are the prototype of the player that I detest." This was the main reason that prompted the Italian midfielder to look for another destination. Now, Newcastle United gave a coup of authority with a rout against Kylian Mbappé's Paris Saint Germain (4-1), who failed again in a major event in Europe.
