Barcelona
is looking for new players to bring in to Catalonia this summer, and
apparently they have just made a huge bid for one.
According to a report from Italian outlet La Reppublica,
the Catalan giants have made a giant €60 million formal offer to Paris
Saint-Germain for the permanent signing of Paris Saint-Germain
midfielder Marco Verratti, which would be one of the most expensive
transfers in Barcelona history.
The
Italian international has been constantly linked with a move away from
the French millionaires, and his name has been linked with the Blaugrana
in many occasions. Verratti is a fantastic central midfielder with
world-class abilities to defend and attack, and his passing and vision
stand out for a player in his position. Many Barça fans believe the
player is the perfect replacement for Barça legend Xavi Hernández, and
would be a key addition to Luis Enrique's side.
Also according to La Reppublica's
report, president Josep Maria Bartomeu is in charge of the negotiations
himself, and he is willing to raise the offer if PSG increase their
asking price. Even though the Catalan giants have good depth in
midfield, they could lose Arda Turan to China and would replace him with
the Italian star.
What do you think, Blaugranes? Would you be on board with Verratti joining Barça?
