Verrati wants to stay at PSG, despite Real Madrid’s interest

Yet, the manager is still expected to deploy a weak line-up as, apart of the injured trio, many of his major worldwide stars such as Luka Modric, Sergio Ramos or James Rodriguez have just joined the pre-season. The club and I discussed many times.

Reigning European champions Real Madrid bounced back from a sloppy preseason opener against PSG with an improved show in their second game as they beat Chelsea 3-2 in MI.

“We want to make the best decision for the club, for himself, for everyone”.

The Portugal forward injured his knee during the Euro 2016 final win against France on July 10 and is now in rehabilitation. “We still have time to keep working”.

Madrid have been linked with in-demand Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, though the European champions and LaLiga giants are reportedly set to lose out to Manchester United in the race for the France worldwide. “We can’t just put him in after not playing for a month. Today we were better with the ball but bad without the ball”. The Santiago Bernabeu outfit saw Veratti as a suitable replacement, but the player’s recent comment will mean that Zinedine Zidane will have to look elsewhere for his Pogba replacement.

“I want to win with this team, because it’s like a family”. Paris Saint-Germain F.C. defeated Real Madrid C.F. 3-1.

Over the course of the summer, various media reports have linked Verratti with a move away from PSG, with the likes of Manchester United and Barcelona being reportedly interested in signing the young midfielder. “I think he can be a good solution for us”.

“My press conferences might be a bit boring because I always say the same thing, but it’s important to prepare well for the season”.

But, with the France worldwide seemingly set to join Manchester United, they face further disappointment.
