With Thiago Silva, who arrived the same summer as him, Marco Verratti is now the oldest in the PSG squad and is currently living his 8th season in the Parisian jersey. The Italian international midfielder (26 years, 35 caps) could have gone elsewhere, especially in 2017, when FC Barcelona had been pressing the club to recruit the capital. But Verratti has finally made the choice to stay and would not be against hanging up the crampons. "The PSG can support me until the end of my career, he assured in a long interview granted to RMC Sport and broadcast this Wednesday. I like to play football, I would do it without taking money, with friends. When you do it in a place where you like everything, I do not see why I should change. Many people ask me why I am not trying anything else. I am also lucky that PSG is an ambitious team, which has a big project, I know that I can win here. "

Verratti soon extended until 2024?

Verratti has indeed built an XXL record at PSG. He notably won 6 French league titles, 4 French Cups and 5 League Cups. But he still misses the Champions League, which he has never even reached the last four. A frustration that has never pushed him to try the adventure in another candidate for the final victory on the European stage. Because success would not have the same flavor. "To win here in Paris, it would be different if I sign tomorrow at Real Madrid or FC Barcelona and if I won something next season with them. I would like to do something here. That's why he could quickly extend his contract, which runs until 2021, and extend it for three more seasons, as Leonardo wishes.
