PSG coach Luis Enrique is bouncing Marco Verratti out of the club.

The Italy midfielder has been transfer-listed and urged to find himself a new club this summer.

Manchester United and Newcastle have been linked with Verratti, though a move to the Saudi Pro League is more likely. Qatar's Al Arabi are also interested.

Le Parisien says Enrique informed Verratti that he would "never play for me" in talks while on preseason tour. Sporting director Luis Campos was present at the meeting.

Enrique had learned of Verratti's love of the Paris nightlife, which had earned him the nickname 'Owl', in the early days of his appointment. The new PSG coach decided on tour that the midfielder wasn't compatible with what he had planned.
