Corinthians, a Brazilian club, expressed interest in Marco Verratti. However, any club interested in acquiring Verratti would need him to agree to a substantial salary reduction, given his current earnings of around 30 million euros annually at Al-Arabi. Verratti joined Al-Arabi in September 2023 for a transfer fee of approximately 45 million euros after departing from PSG, and his contract is set to expire next June. This season with Al-Arabi, he has made 14 appearances, scored 4 goals, and provided 4 assists. Despite his high salary, Corinthians showed interest before the winter transfer window. There is still a possibility for him to move, as clubs would not be required to pay a transfer fee to Al-Arabi but would need to negotiate a lower salary with Verratti.
