Marco Verratti could be set for a sensational return to Italian football, with reports indicating that the midfielder has been offered to Juventus and other Serie A sides through intermediaries. Italian journalist Mirko Di Natale reports that the Italian playmaker, now at Al Duhail after leaving Al-Arabi earlier this year, is reportedly eager to come back to Serie A.
Juventus, while intrigued by the opportunity, are said to be approaching the matter with caution. Director Damien Comolli and his team are reviewing the financial feasibility of the deal given the club’s current budget constraints. They also intend to assess Verratti’s physical and competitive condition before committing to any negotiations.
A return to Italy would see Verratti rejoin top-tier European football after more than a decade abroad, but such a move appears contingent on two key factors: the player’s fitness and the willingness of interested clubs to meet even a reduced wage demand.
