Paris Saint-Germain put price-tag on midfielder’s head

Arsenal and Manchester United have been told by Paris Saint-Germain that it would cost them at least £72million to sign midfielder Marco Verratti.

The Premier League duo have been targeting the young midfielder over the past season, with them both linked with making moves during last summer.

However, Verratti declared his intentions to stay put in France with PSG, which put off both the Gunners and the Red Devils.

The 22-year-old is still making a lot of noise across Europe for his vital role in Laurent Blanc‘s starting XI despite still being young, and his agent, Di Campli, has admitted it would take a mega-offer for the club to sell him.

As well as Arsenal and United, both Spanish giants FC Barcelona and Real Madrid have been interested in the Italian, and Di Campli has warned clubs it would cost around £72m to sign him.

‘Verratti is worth more than Pogba’

He told France Football: “If Kevin De Bruyne signs for City for €80 million, then €100 million for Marco does not seem a heresy.

“I hear here and there that Pogba is €100m. For me, Verratti is worth as much.”
