Barcelona are set to table a huge £88million bid for Marco Verratti after the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder told the club he wants to leave this summer.

The 24-year-old Italy international is also on Manchester United and Chelsea's radar, but report in Spain say it is Barcelona who are the most keen.

It is believed Verratti has spoken to PSG's new director of sport Antero Henrique, letting him know of his desire to leave the French capital in the transfer window.

The Italian has been at PSG for five seasons, but Barcelona are now keen to sign him for £88m

Mediaset Premium write that Barcelona are wasting no time in their pursuit of the star, and will lodge a huge €100m bid to the Ligue 1 runners-up on Monday.

Juventus are also keen on bringing Verratti back to the country of his birth, a move which could interest the self-confessed Juve supporter.

The potential for Juventus to get involved is one reason Barcelona are keen to tie a deal up early, to stop any interference from elsewhere.

Verratti has been at PSG for five seasons, winning the French title in the first four before they missed out to Monaco this time around.

He has also secured three Coupe de France triumphs, as well as four French League Cup titles in an incredibly successful stint in Paris.

Now, though, the former Pescara man feels it is time for a new challenge elsewhere as he approaches the peak of his powers.
