While Verratti will not be heading to Real Madrid, PSG coach Unai Emery hopes to persuade forward Jese to move in the opposite direction. PSG has become my new family and, above all, until we win the Champions League I can not go.
“He is a very, very good player”.
“He always fights, defends his corner and helps others”.
Boro boss Aitor Karanka knows Zidane well from working alongside the Frenchman during Jose Mourinho’s tenure at Madrid, and he will be hoping this relationship can push any potential deal for the youngster over the line. The 23-year-old is now in talks with Paris Saint-Germain and Zidane confirmed that the forward did not feature against Chelsea in MI because of the ongoing negotiations.
Since winning the final against Atletico Madrid they didn’t play any official game, and will try to make the most of this opportunity.
They took the lead when Marcelo sauntered forward and did this.
The rest of the half was controlled by Marcelo and his Real teammates, as they continually attacked Chelsea’s right flank. “It was important to start strongly”. We have another game to prepare a little better for the match on the 9th [against Sevilla], and I think it will be enough to get us ready for the Supercopa.

“I have talked to the club a number of times and we are both keen to continue together and keep winning”, Verratti said to French newspaper Le Parisien.
