Paris Saint-Germain’s Marco Verratti is eyeing an extension amid interest in his services from other clubs, his agent has revealed.
The highly-rated, 20-year-old midfielder has been hot in the crosshairs of Serie A side Fiorentina in recent weeks, although they have admitted signing the player is highly unlikely.
Apart from the Italian club, La Ligia giants Real Madrid were also credited with interest in Verratti, although boss Carlo Ancelotti is legally constrained in buying players from PSG due to a contractual clause he agreed to when he swapped the dugout at the Parc des Princes for the Santiago Bernabeu.
On the other hand, San Siro stalwarts AC Milan, current Italian champions Juventus and defending English league champions Manchester United have also been tipped with interest in the Italian midfield man.
