Reports: Verratti will leave PSG

According to reports coming from both Spain and Italy, the midfielder is edging closer and closer to the exit door.

Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' report that Barcelona have already made contact with PSG to express their interest in the playmaker and to open negotiations.

Meanwhile 'La Gazzetta Sportiva' claims that Verratti has told his current employer in no uncertain terms that he "wants to leave Paris".

The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the best central midfielders in world football with the French giants since his move from Pescara in 2012 though it appears that his time in the French capital may be coming to an end.
