Marco Verratti on Wednesday moved to Qatari side Al-Arabi from Paris St Germain.  

"The Al Arabi Club management has signed a contract with the Italian international star Marco Verratti, coming from Paris Saint-Germain, for a period of three years, thus concluding the number of our team’s professionals for the 2023-2024 sports season," Al Arabi Club said in a statement.
