Coutinho is the successor for Iniesta according to the board. However, it's Marco Verratti that the midfielder sees as his replacement.

Barcelona are not the only club interested in him and are set to face tough competition for him. Real Madrid and Chelsea are also interested in him and are ready to pay anything PSG demand for him.

However, it's advantage Barcelona as reports suggest that Verratti has told his agent that he wants to move to Camp Nou. The PSG star is ready to snub interest from Chelsea and Real Madrid to join the Catalan side. He is bound to cost £70 million.
