The 2020 Euro winner with Italy has decided to end his more than a decade long spell at PSG for a move to the Middle East.

It is believed the club has offered the Italian a permanent contract and it is only a matter of time before he completes medical and seals the move.

PSG have agreed to receive 45 million euros for the 30-year-old, which has been negotiated between the two side for about 10 days prior.

New PSG boss Luis Enrique has reportedly told Veratti that he does not feature in his plans and that was confirmed after the Italian was not named in the 2023-24 Champions League squad. The 30-year-old has not played a single minute over the course of the new campaign.

Veratti has established himself as one of PSG’s most prominent figures, making 276 appearances and winning nine Ligue 1 titles, nine French Super Cups and a Champions League appearance in 2020.
