Exclusive: Barcelona and Verratti have an agreement in place but PSG are resisting...

20 giu 2017

Maco Verratti, Barcelona and PSG, with a little bit of Lionel Messi and Bayern Munich. Verratti and his agent Donato Di Campli (during their time in Ibiza), had discussions with Barcelona. According to sources close to Calciomercato.com, an agreement was found between both parties. Other than the Barcelona management (who love Verratti), Lionel Messi also supported his club's decision to target the small Italian maestro. So to recap, Verratti has said yes to FC Barcelona but the problem is called PSG....

THEY DON'T WANT TO SELL HIM - PSG consider Verratti untouchable since they know that he will be very hard to replace. The French club made him a contract renewal offer: 10 million euros per season (similar to Cavani's salary). This is a lot of money but even so, Verratti wants to play for FC Barcelona. The Catalan club do not want to be too pushy as they want to keep their good relationship with PSG. This is why it is up to Verratti now....

BAYERN'S INTEREST - Bayern Munich also like Verratti a lot as Carlo Ancelotti gave him a call not too long ago to convince him of joining Bayern. Verratti thanked the ex-Milan coach for the call but his mind is now only focused on Barcelona. He first wanted to see Juve's potential interest but as Marotta confirmed, the Bianconeri are not currently interested in him (and his huge price-tag/wages). It is now pretty clear, or he will be joining Barcelona or he will likely stay with PSG. An agreement between Verratti and Messi's club is now in place....
