Marco Verratti coy on Paris Saint-Germain future

Marco Verratti has suggested that he would be open to a move away from Paris Saint-Germain.

Verratti has long been linked with an exit from the French capital, with Real Madrid and Barcelona both said to be interested in the Italy international.

The 25-year-old was a part of the PSG side that lost 3-1 at Real Madrid in the first leg of their last-16 clash in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

After the match, Verratti was questioned on his future, and the highly-rated midfielder refused to rule out a move to Spain.

"I'm not sure [about a future move to Barcelona], although right now I'm happy in Paris," Verratti told Premium Sport. "I'm a part of a project that I believe in and my hope is to stay here for a long time, but then again maybe PSG will sell me to another club."

Verratti has a contract with his French club until the summer of 2021.
