There are conflicting reports in France regarding the future of Marco Verratti, with some suggesting the Italian midfielder has asked to leave PSG.
According to Le Parisien, Verratti met with new PSG Sporting Director Antero Henrique who assured the player that he features prominently in the clubs future and they have no intention of selling him.
In contrast, L’Equipe suggest that the meeting was concluded with Verratti formally requesting to leave the French side as he wishes to join a club that can compete for the Champions League next season.
This all follows on from Verratti’s agents’ comments last week where he talked of how Juventus were more attractive than PSG at present, fuelling obvious speculation that Juve may have a chance at signing the versatile young midfielder.
Despite Juve’s interest in the player, Mediaset Premium report that Barcelona are the main contenders to sign him and the Catalan side are preparing a €100m offer of their own.
If that Barca proposal is true, we can forget about Verratti. Even if we could compete with that sum, we have more pressing needs than CM to conclude first, imo
he is Juventino dont forget, we have the money and prestigue to fight them for this boy.His signature would almost defenitely mean we go back to 3 men midfield.Bring in Douglas Costa and this 4321 would be superb, what do you think?
Yes he is, but it didnt stop him from going to PSG either when he left Pescara. And again, Barca’s offer is far better than ours, if any.
Not sure about Costa either in all honesty, first it was 30mill and bonuses, then it was 40mill and now Bayern asks for 50mill. Is costa worth 50mill? I reckon that is close to half our transfer budget
but Juve didnt even bid for Marco back then.To Costa, i never read anything about 40-50m , I think there is great chance we will get him, he would be definitely in starting XI, plus Juve offer great project for future, almost new stadium , great history and a lot more.
They did offer, they just didnt want to match the 12mill PSG offered.
I read those price tags on football-italia, generally a trustworthy site.
All true man, Juve is a club for stars again, but there will be a need to throw money at them and their clubs.
looks like you’re right, i just read the article from dimarzio, bayern value him at 50m and costa wants 7m per season, if this is true , fuck him then.no way he is worth 50m and 7m per season? joke
yeah, that is what bothers me too. I don’t know Costa well enough to say he is worth that much. Yet, we need game winning players on our wings.
Looks like it will be Keita or Bernardeschi, but will they make a difference in CL games? I hope they can
Costa as being sold for 50M but Juve want to pay 40-45M tops! the reason why it went up to 50M is because Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and the shit club of ManUtd all want Costa as well. Ive been following transfer links from English teams, and it’s crazy! no team wants to sell any player for less than 35M to the English clubs, everyone is being sold for 40M+, Lazio even wants 70M for Savic i thought it was the funniest thing ever LOL,
English teams seem to have money to burn anyway, let them overpay eh!
I would ask 60mill for Lemina too if I could actually receive it!
well Everton just joined the race for Lemina along side Arsenal, so we may get 20M+ in a bidding war at least…hopefully
Big wishlist! 😛
hell of a list lol
seems like tolisso is about to join bayern for 40 m, damn it.
