Report: Barcelona eye up Marco Verratti next year

Barcelona are reportedly weighing up a move for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti next summer.

The Italian international has played over 100 times since he joined the club in 2012, but he has been linked with a move away from the French capital in recent months.

Barcelona are currently under a transfer embargo, but plan to make their move in 2016 for the 22-year-old, according to Goal.com.

The website claims that a bid of around £35m could be enough to secure a deal, while the player is keen on the idea of moving to La Liga.

Verratti has also been linked with the likes of Real Madrid and Chelsea.
