#2 Marco Verratti
Marco Verratti was Barcelona’s prime target in the opening stages of the transfer window until Paris Saint-Germain made their stance clear, insisting that they are not interested in doing business with any club involving the sale of the Italian.
The 24-year-old is the ideal candidate to take the Camp Nou outfit forward and has all the requisites to thrive in Barcelona’s midfield. However, with the enormous money that PSG possess, they don’t have any obligation to sell, especially due to the lack of a buyout clause in the Italian’s contract.
While Barcelona may have cooled their interest in the midfielder for now, they are expected to make a last ditch push to sign the 24-year-old towards the end of the window.
