'Verratti worth same as Pogba'

By Football Italia staff

Marco Verratti “is worth as much as Paul Pogba,” claims the PSG talent’s agent, who points to a Bayern Munich future.

The midfielder never got to play in Serie A, as he was poached from Pescara by Paris Saint-Germain in 2012 for €12m.

“We have to put pen on paper, but we have reached an agreement for a contract extension,” agent Donato Di Campli told the Corriere dello Sport.

“He will stay in Paris for a long time, at least until 2020. This is already his fourth renewal and he’s proving that he deserves a certain wage.”

Verratti bonded with Carlo Ancelotti in Paris, so the tactician’s move to Bayern Munich for next season could have repercussions.

“It is easier for Marco to one day go to Bayern Munich rather than Real Madrid or Barcelona,” added the agent.

“However, at this moment Verratti is like the Mona Lisa. €30m? We could buy a salad with that. PSG consider Verratti to be worth as much as Juventus evaluate Pogba.”
