Barcelona The Catalan club set their eyes on him

Blaugrana keen on Italian midfielder

PSG and Verratti agent hold crunch talks in Milan

Although Barcelona have set their eyes on the pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain star Marco Verratti, a spokesman representing the French club claimed that they don't intend to let the player depart.

PSG president Nasser al Khelaifi will try to improve the contract of the Italian international as he is considered one of the pillars of the club's project and they are not willing to give it up for any price.

"[His price tag] is neither 80 million euros nor 100m euros, because Verratti is not for sale," a senior PSG spokesman told MARCA on Monday.

Looking ahead to next season, the Qatari owners will once again attempt to lift the Champions League trophy and they don't seem willing to weaken their squad with the departure of the talented 24-year-old, who is an important part of Unai Emery's plans to bounce back from the outgoing disastrous season.
