After Leandro Paredes and Angel di Maria, Marco Verratti has also spoken out in favor of a transfer from Lionel Messi (FC Barcelona) to Paris Saint-Germain. “Of course I would love to play with Messi,” said the 28-year-old after beating Olympique Marseille 2-0 on Sunday evening Canal+.
“Having him on the team would be great, just another thing football would give me,” said the Italian midfielder, who added: “I would give Neymar and Messi the ball and stay behind to just take them a little bit observe.”
Messi to PSG? Barca boss Koeman angry about poaching attempts
Messi wanted to leave FC Barcelona last summer with a release clause. Since then, the 33-year-old, who is only tied to Barca until the end of the season, has been linked with a farewell to the French champions.
Just last week, Barca coach Ronald Koeman was angry about PSG’s advances. “It has nothing to do with respect to talk about someone who is still a Barca player,” said the 57-year-old: “That’s not good, that’s a mistake.”
