Last weekend, Marca revealed the Reds are prepared to sign the Italian international from Paris Saint-Germain to improve things in the center of the park.
However, as per today’s version of Corriere dello Sport, Verratti has agreed a contract with Al Hilal that will make him earn 150 million euros (£128.6million) in the next three years.
At the moment, he is only taking home around 12 million euros per season with the French champions and will surely not turn down the chance to more than quadruple his wages.
PSG are asking for a fee of more than 30 million euros which should not be a problem for the Middle East side and the 30-year-old veteran is set to become the highest paid Italian footballer in the history of the game.
