PSG central midfielder Marco Veratti has chosen to join Real Madrid snubbing interest from English clubs Manchester United, Arsenal & Chelsea.
Paris Saint Germain who won the French league title last season are said to be open to offers for their Italian international so that they fully comply with UEFA’s new financial regulations.
Veratti is said to want a move to the Champions League winners Real Madrid so that he can progess his career further under the manager who gave him his chance at PSG Carlo Ancelotti.
It was reported that Manchester United would put in an offer for Veratti having offloaded Shinji Kagawa back to old club Borussia Dortmund in an £8million move.
Arsenal & Manchester United remain very active on transfer deadline day with United pulling off one of the transfers of the summer already today signing Falcao from Monaco.
