Marco Verratti returned to Italy, but not as a player, but just to become a owner. The Italian international has invested 1.5 million euros in purchasing 40 percent of the shares of Pescara club, in Serie C and where the 32 -year -old midfielder has launched in football.
Verratti did not start in Serie A and, after four seasons at U19 and seniors (he won series B), left Il Calcio, signing with PSG, who paid 15 million euros. 11 years old remained at the team on Parc des Princes, in the shirt of which he won 30 trophies, including 9 titles in Ligue 1! In September 2023, PSG sold for 45 million euros in Al-Arabi.
Verratti took the actions with his salary for half a month!
Marco Verratti thus returns to the team with which he promoted under the leadership of Zdenek Zeman and, after reaching a principle agreement, at the end of this month he will sign the transaction documents. According to Corriere della Sera, the 2020 European champion took 1.5 million euros out of pocket, an amount 20 times lower than the annual salary received in Qatar!
“The midfielder, who ticked on PSG 416 matches, 11 goals and 61 assists, did not forget the club he has grown since 12 years and continues to watch with passion, engaged in the C play-off (tomorrow he plays the return of the final with Visaro Visar, which he defeated in the first 4-2).

The Italians also announce that the preliminary agreement has been signed, and within a month the documents will be paraphrased. The purchase of 40% of the shares of President Daniele Sebastiani is not Verratti's only business. In recent years, the midfielder has bought “Giusè”, his favorite Parisian restaurant, located two steps from Avenue des Champs-Elysées.
In the capital of France, Marco exports typical products from Abruzzo from the farm led by his family to Manoppello. And not only that. Verratti also did business in the real estate world, investing with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and other former players from AC Milan in the center of Milan.
