In an interview given to Telelombardia Donato Di Campli (Verratti's agent) just said that : "I assure you that Verratti will not finish his carrier at PSG". Is he trying to put some pressure on Nasser ? I also saw that Juve are starting to make some moves.
He's 24, of course it's unlikely he'll stay in Paris for the rest of his career but I don't see him leaving in 3-4 years while he's in his prime.
And Juve is rumoured to be interested in even more players than we are.
Yet another CAM/winger
They definitely don't know who a CM is
Or maybe Lucho don't want a CM.
That said, IF we can sell Arda for nice money to China I wouldn't mind getting Soriano (who is younger, quicker and more dangerous in front of the goal) to be our backup winger. Of course that's IF he's willing to accept that role (which I doubt). IF we'd buy him with intention to play him as CM, then he will most likely be another bad investment.
Of course, a lot of IFs. As said above, I don't think we are even seriously interested in Soriano. Yes, we are probably following him, because he's no doubt an interesting player but there are hundreds of players on our radar. He's just one of them. It doesn't mean we'll definitely buy or even make a bid for him. It's only December and there will more players connected to us until next summer. And there is zero chance we'll buy him in January.
