It sounds like a movie script, but it really happened. In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Marco Verratti shared the story of a summer night in Ibiza in 2021 — a night that would change PSG’s history forever.
“We were in Ibiza,” Verratti recalled. “Neymar told me, ‘We’re having dinner with Leo.’ The vibe at the table was magical. We sort of nudged him to join us in Paris…”
The next day? The dream came true. “Neymar called me: ‘Marco, Leo’s signing with us.’ Unreal.”
“Messi to PSG ? Unreal”
That casual dinner with Neymar, Di Maria, Paredes, and Messi turned out to be the beginning of one of football’s most iconic transfers. Just days later, Messi officially left Barcelona and became a PSG player. One night. One dinner. One game-changing move.
