Goal's team of correspondents reveal who wants to sign PSG's hugely popular Italian midfielder this summer
Barcelona are extremely keen on Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti, Goal understands, whose long-term future in France remains shrouded in doubt.
The 24-year-old is perceived as the perfect successor to Xavi Hernandez, who left Camp Nou at the end of 2014-15, and he's top of Barca's summer transfer target list.
Verratti has become one of the most sought-after central midfielders in the world since signing for the French team in 2012 for an estimated €12 million.
Barca believe they would have to pay around €80m to prise Verratti from the Parc des Princes club.
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is believed to be a huge admirer of Verratti but the Blues would need to sell Cesc Fabregas to justify the swoop, which they're currently unwilling to do.
