Italy midfielder Marco Verratti is being linked with a surprise move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal, with reports suggesting the move is at an advanced stage. The 30-year-old was reportedly considering a PSG exit this summer with previous reports claiming he was looking for a change of scenery.
There was a brief suggestion that Verratti could return to Italy and finally make his debut in Serie A, but new reports indicate his immediate future lies elsewhere.
Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Verratti is close to a move to Al-Hilal, with the two clubs closing in on an agreement.
The Azzurri midfielder is expected to be offered a three-year contract, with documents already being prepared for his transfer.
