Italian international midfielder Marco Verratti is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain for Qatari outfit Al Arabi.
Long-serving Verratti is not thought to be part of new head coach Luis Enrique’s long-term plans and according to RMC reporter Fabrice Hawkins, Verratti does not want to hang around at the Parc des Princes where he is not wanted.

Marco Verratti set for Parc des Princes exit
The departure would signal another member of the old guard at Paris Saint-Germain leaving this summer, joining a list that also includes Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, Neymar, Mauro Icardi, and Leandro Paredes.
Verratti is currently subject to a $48.8m bid plus add-ons by the Doha-based outfit- an offer that is deemed to be in the right ballpark for the 30-year-old destructive midfielder.
The Italian joined Paris Saint-Germain from Pescara back in 2012 and has made over 400 appearances in all competitions for the Parisians: winning nine Ligue 1 titles in the process.
