Verratti wants Barca and no chance of Liverpool signing Mbappe


TRANSFER TALK


Barcelona target , 24-year-old (25 in November) central midfielder Marco Verratti told his French employers PSG on Thursday evening that he wants to leave the club.
Spanish newspaper Marca report that French champions Monaco have turned down a £88.01 million (€100m - AUS$147.83m - US$111.98m) bid for 18-year-old (19 in December) French international Kylian Mbappe from Liverpool.

Mbappe has made it clear the only club he will join is Real Madrid, despite the misreporting of his comments by papers suggesting he wants to join UEFA Europa league side Arsenal. From a UEFA Champions League semi-final to the second tier competition in Europe is a backward step in his career.

Equally, Liverpool have no chance of signing him before they have qualified for the group stages of the UEFA Champions League. A top player is not going to sign for a club only to find they lose a qualifying round and are out of Europe's premier competition.

The play-off round finishes on 23 August.
