Lionel Messi will not leave PSG alone: the star of the club who will follow him.

There are fewer and fewer matches left to finish the Ligue 1 season, and one of the most eager for this moment is Lionel Messi. The Argentine star's contract with PSG ends in June and he will not renew his contract, so he is free to negotiate his next destination in the transfer market. However, he will not leave alone: the 'toxic atmosphere' in the dressing room has also affected other players like Marco Verratti. The Italian midfielder is also looking for a new team.

Marco Verratti has decided to leave PSG in the summer. The club had also put him on the summer transfer market and will consider offers for the Italian, whose performance this year has been inconsistent and the ultras, moreover, have singled him out as one of the main culprits for the poor sporting results during this season, unlike the praise he received in previous campaigns.

After the serious insults from the fans at the PSG headquarters, many players would have started to consider their future far from France. The midfielder seemed to be one of the 'untouchables' for the president until he asked to sign for FC Barcelona in the summer of 2017 and was forced to apologize to all the club's fans on social media.

After this latest incident, something seems to have been broken in the relationship between both parties. In recent years, Verratti has been declared as one of the 'transferable' players, but the release clause is the main problem. However, the last 'purge' that they plan to do would be the perfect time to leave, in search of some club in the 'Old Continent' that is interested in his services.

Verratti's desire

According to information from RMC Sport, Verratti only considers Real Madrid as his next destination. The friendship he has with Carlo Ancelotti, who coached him at PSG, is one of the fundamental reasons for making this move. However, for Real Madrid, their main objective is Bellingham, although they would not mind a new 'piece' in midfield.

Italy and Saudi Arabia are two of the options that appear to set a new course. His salary, 12 million euros gross, could be an impediment for any European club that tries to sign him, so it will not be easy to sell him in the next transfer market. Real Madrid, the one that truly attracts the player, is very remote right now.
