Real Madrid to make official bid for PSG star Verratti
That’s why, according to Sport, the 11-time Champions League winners have set sights on a long time target of their hated rivals Barcelona. The Merengues’ opening € 50 million bid is likely to be rejected by PSG as Unai Emery considers the Italy International a mainstay of the Ligue1 giants and is not even considering the sale of the former Pescara man.
Florentino Perez, however, wants to gift Zidane with a new top-class centre midfielder and is not thought to give up on the player so easily, especially because there are not too many players ‘available’ on the market that can raise the level of the Bernabeu outfit.
