Paris Saint-Germain midfielder and Barcelona target Marco Verratti has taken a break from his holiday time in Ibiza to head back to Paris, a trip which has led furthered speculation about a possible move to Camp Nou this summer.

The strong 'no' from PSG to Barça's interest is a huge obstacle in the Catalan club's bid to sign the Italian international, which is why Verratti could have travelled back to Paris to put pressure on the club's hierarchy in another attempt to get them to change their posture.

Verratti has been sending winks in Barça's direction throughout the last few weeks, to the point of letting slip that he's ready to not turn up for pre-season training with PSG at the beginning of July if it would help with a transfer.

Barça have still not made a firm offer to PSG, but have transmitted their interest and are ready to pay up to 80 million euros for the midfielder.
