Top 7 midfielders Barcelona should target

#6 Marco Verratti (Paris Saint-Germain)

Barca's environment might just be perfect for Verratti to take the next step in his career.

Marco Verratti is one of the best young midfielders in the game at this moment. At the age of 25, it seems Verratti has been ever-present for PSG. He has been a consistent performer at the Parc des Princes.

But many have argued that for him to improve and take his game to the next level he must leave France and move to a country where there is more competitive football. Despite his talents, there are aspects of his game that he needs to improve and the Camp Nou environment could just be perfect for that.

He is a midfielder who should guild in well in Barca's fluid attacking football. He is quick, agile, has good ball control and dribbling skills and he is a gifted creative playmaker. Alongside all these attributes he is also effective in tight spaces and ball retention.

With him and Busquets in the midfield, Barcelona should easily be able to boss the midfield for the Blaugrana and his attributes should also help to settle at the Camp Nou attacking football.

He can also push Philippe Coutinho to play further up the pitch and cover for him in the midfield when they face a counter-attack. At the same time when they are attacking, he can play the role of a playmaker as well.
