6 players who can replace Luka Modric at Real Madrid

#1 Marco Verratti (Paris Saint-Germain)

Italy’s best midfielder at the moment, Paris Saint-Germain’s Marco Verratti has been consistently excellent once again this season. Capable of breaking up play and setting up attacks with equal ease, Verratti has recently been linked with a big money to either Real Madrid or Barcelona.

Often compared to Andrea Pirlo, Verratti is known for his brilliant ball retention skills and his ability to pick out the right pass under pressure. Always ensuring that the ball keeps moving at the centre of the park, the Italian is probably PSG’s biggest and most important star.

The Italian’s agent has recently spoken about a possible move in the summer transfer window and we might even see the world record transfer fee broken for him as the Spanish giants battle it out to sign the talented midfielder.
