5 midfielders who can replace Andres Iniesta at Barcelona

#2 Marco Verratti

Verratti could fit well in Valverde's squad

Marco Verratti is one of the best midfielders in Europe right now. The 25-year-old is a world-class player, regarded for his close control in tight spaces, passing abilities, quick feet, and vision.

The Italian averages 92.7 passes per game in Ligue 1 this season, with an accuracy of 91.2%. With 1.3 key passes and 1.9 successful dribbles per game, he is a creative force in the PSG lineup. In his last two seasons for PSG, the 25-year-old has scored 5 goals and assisted 12 more.

Barcelona tried to sign him last summer but PSG played hardball and the deal did not happen. Verratti is only 25 and has played more than 200 games for PSG. He has all the experience and skills to be a long-term replacement for Andres Iniesta.
