Paris Saint-Germain and Italy midfielder Marco Verratti has said he expects West Ham United captain and England star Declan Rice to leave the Hammers in a big transfer move.
Verratti and his Italy colleagues play host to Rice and England in Naples on Thursday night in the first of eight qualification group stage matches for both countries for next year’s European Championships in Germany.
The two nations know each other well with Thursday’s game being the fourth time they would have met in less than two years, playing twice last June in the UEFA Nations League before a tightly contested Euro 2020 final a year earlier.
