According to UK betting sites, Juventus are leading the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain star, Marco Verratti, as the Italy international looks for a move elsewhere in the summer.
The mini magician has been a pillar in the PSG midfield over recent years, making 412 appearances for the Ligue 1 giants.
During his 11 year spell in the French capital, the 30-year-old has picked up eight league titles and has been a consistent member of the Italian national team.
However, the 2022-23 campaign has been a frustrating one for Verratti, missing five games through injury and four due to suspension.
Despite this, the Italian has attracted interest from a host of European sides, with Serie A giants Juventus being the favourites to land his signature.
The Old Lady are back in the Champions League places after they were re-awarded the 15 points that were originally deducted for recent transfer dealings.
🚨 Marco Verratti is considering leaving Paris Saint-Germain. He no longer feels welcome at the club, and the hostile climate towards him could push him to submit a transfer request in the coming weeks.

Massimiliano Allegri’s side were set to have a disappointing season, sitting outside the top four and were eliminated in the UCL group stages.
However, after reaching the semi-finals of the Europa League and reclaiming the 15 points, the Italian giants are on track to finish the season strongly.
A move for the PSG midfielder could be a smart piece of business, with summer signing Paul Pogba failing to impact the side since his move.
The Frenchman has only made 5 appearances in the league this season, after missing the majority of the campaign through injury.
Verratti’s deal in France expires in 2026, which may be a factor when agreeing a deal. However, with the Parisian side looking to offload a host of players this summer, we may see the midfielder return to his home nation.
