Messi union would be a ´magnificent´ gift, says PSG star Verratti

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti said he is excited about the prospect of playing alongside Lionel Messi at the Ligue 1 champions.

Barcelona superstar Messi is out of contract at season’s end and the six-time Ballon d’Or winner has been heavily linked with PSG and Premier League giants Manchester City.

As Messi’s future dominates headlines, PSG star Verratti discussed his possible arrival in Paris.

“Of course, I would like to play with Messi,” Italy international Verratti told Canal+.

“To have him in the squad would be something magnificent, one more thing that football would give to me.

“I would give the ball to Neymar and Messi and stay behind to just [enjoy] watching them a bit.”
