Verratti to snub Barcelona interest and stay at PSG
Promises one more year in Paris
Posted Sunday, March 26, 2017 by Marca.com
Barcelona were dealt a blow this weekend when long-term target Marco Verratti indicated that he's set to continue with Paris Saint-Germain for at least another season.
The tenacious midfielder was commenting on his future after he helped the Italian national team defeat Albania to keep pace with Spain in World Cup qualifying Group G.
"I'm happy in Paris, it's a great project and I'll still be there next season," he told RaiSport following the game.
Verratti has been a central figure once again this season under Unai Emery, having clocked up some 2387 minutes following his recovery from an injury which saw him miss out on featuring in the European Championship last summer.
Emery's future is far from certain, but whoever is in charge at the French side next season can rest easy in the knowledge that the Italian is tied down under contract until 2021.
