Maybe, maybe not. However, why are we wasting funds on a guy who may or may not be good enough as a rotational option when we don't even have a starter for the LW position? Our options in attack, as things stand, are as follows:
1.) Kean
2.) Vlahovic
3.) Chiesa
4.) Cuads
5.) Di Maria
We need reinforcements, PLURAL! Kean sucks on the wing and is barely good enough as a CF. Chiesa is out until October/November. Di Maria and Cuads are both on borrowed time (both will likely depart next summer). We need both Kostic and Zaniolo, so no point wasting funds on someone like Verde.
Rusty Doris as a starter is a no go. Come on FFS! We should do better. I have seen nothing from Rusty to suggest that he's a star in the making - a solid player, but that's it. A step up from Pepe. Yes, he can cover multiple positions, but he doesn't really excel at any, and he's exceptionally average on the wings.

tbh I'd take a Pepe on the left wing right now. we've been playing Matuidi, Rabiot + one legged Sandro on that wing for so long, that Pepe now seems like a dream to me
