Verratti looking for top European club, says agent

MILAN: Midfielder Marco Verratti could be set for a summer move to a “top European club” after his agent rated his chances of remaining with Paris Saint Germain next season as “very complicated”.

“It’s a very complicated situation, in spite of his contract with the club until 2021,” Verratti’s agent Donato Di Campli told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“He wants to win trophies, and PSG, as they are now, can’t win. He’s been with Paris for five years and now he’s starting to wonder whether it’s better earning a lot (of money) and not winning anything, or to start winning trophies.”

Reports in Italy claim Verratti, who has never played in Serie A, could join Juventus.

But Di Campli added: “There are a few interested (clubs) in Italy, but I have doubts that will be his final destination. It’s not about money: whichever club takes Verratti will pay him well. Because, I can tell you this for certain: if he leaves PSG it will be for a top European club.”
