Marco Verratti has distanced himself from reported interest from Real Madrid, insisting he remains committed to his club Paris St Germain.

It is thought the European champions are weighing up a bid for the Italy worldwide, who missed Euro 2016 with a groin injury.

Madrid’s reported interest in Verrati comes after they dropped out of the race to sign Paul Pogba from Juventus.

The France worldwide is said to be on the brink of a move to Manchester United.

The 25-year-old joined the Parisians back in 2012 and has made 157 appearances in all competitions.

“Coming here gives you the opportunity not only to play in the Champions League but also the opportunity to win it”.

“I want to win something important here before I get exhausted or that the club no longer want me”. That’s the goal I set myself.

Both sides will feature in the upcoming Champions League campaign but will not meet at the group stage as they are seeded for winning their respective leagues.

Next up for Real Madrid is a clash with Bayern Munich on August 4.
