Barcelona don't want to pay more than €80m for Verratti

Verratti - who is due to resume Paris Saint-Germain training on July 10 - is keen to join Barcelona and has rejected an offer of a new contract from the Ligue 1 giants worth €12m per year. Whether he signs a renewal or not, however, PSG have no intention of selling the player this summer.

Their valuation of Verratti is also much higher than Barcelona's and the French club would look to bring in around €120m for the midfielder if they were to sell this summer.
That could depend on the player, with some reports suggesting Verratti could go on strike to force through a move and PSG's strong stance may mean that is the only option if he really is determined to join Barca in time for the coming campaign.


However, Verratti is grateful to PSG and the club's fans for how he has been treated in his five seasons at the Parc des Princes and would prefer to reach an amicable agreement with the French side.

In the meantime, Barca have looked at other options, including former Tottenham midfielder Paulinho, but Verratti remains the Catalans' top target and the club will step up talks with PSG and the player's representative Donato Di Campli this week.
Barca made their first summer signing on Friday when they brought back winger Gerard Deulofeu in a €12m deal. The Blaugrana also hope to recruit a right-back, with Arsenal's Hector Bellerin their preferred player for that position.
