Marco Verratti

[Ini8]

I know but still, our chances are bigger than Barca's since we have a good relationship, PSG and Barca have a terrible one.

How do you have a good relationship with PSG?

 

[frog-fcb]

Can we not play our qatar card and try and get him

 

[DonAK]

How do you have a good relationship with PSG?

Florentino has been sucking up to Nasser. Probably in hope of trying to get some of their players. They tried to make a move for Verratti a month ago by talking to his agent and PSG got pissed off. So I'm not sure whether the good relations are intact any longer

PSG are like a rabid dog which will bite your hand off when you talk about their players.

 

[MaxY]

Nah,we denied approaching Verratti.

 

[Silas]

Verratti told Goal: "Barcelona are one of the strongest clubs in the world and have been for a long time. It is always flattering for a player when such a big club is interested in you. It is up to the people at Barcelona to decide [how I would fit in]. But it is true that I like their style."

 

[hardyboy]

Hope we sign him...

 

[Alik]

Perhaps one day we could sign him if he ever wants to leave.

He is 22, and his contract runs until 2019. With one year left in his current contract, he'd be 25.

Although by then there might be better options or we might already have signed other players.

I would take him over Pogba even, but I know it's impossible, so I don't bother. Would take 200-300M to make PSG even consider it.

 

[HarryPotter]

We should buy him and Pogba

 

[BigBarcaBoy]

We should buy him and Pogba

would leave to see that, both are still young so you never know

The midfield would be unstoppable.

We should buy him and Pogba

Barcelona don't have an unlimited amount of money.
Pogba costs 80M transfer fee+15M image right+12M yearly for wages=155 Millions for 5 years
Verratti would cost almost the same, maybe only with lower wages.

On the other hand, Kovacic costed 30M fee+4 M yearly wages=50M for 5 years.

Anyway, no team in the world has enough money for so many expensive players in one era.

Also, Verratti+Pogba midfield would be less attacking than Iniesta+Xavi or Iniesta+Rakitic.

Both Verrati and Pogba are more like Rakitic's type of players in our current team.
None of them is an attacking link between midfield and attack, like Iniesta/Isco/Kovacic.

Nice try.

 

[God Serena]

We should buy him and Pogba

We should have also signed Beckham and Zidane. Would have made us far more successful than the... erm, *other* signings we made...

 

[serghei]

I don't see Chelsea, PSG, and City selling a player they need right now without that player pushing hard for a move and turning against his own club. And, sadly, not everyone is like De Gea. Some have morals, and Verratti owes a lot to PSG to be frank. He won't move anytime soon without PSG's consent. And that just ain't happening.
