Marco Verratti's Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Marquinhos has said that he doesn't believe that the midfielder will leave the club this summer, in spite of interest from Chelsea, Manchester United and Barcelona.

The highly-rated midfielder has been linked with a move away from France this summer, with a number of clubs showing keen interest in securing his services.




However, the French giants have maintained their not for sale stance, insisting that the youngster is an integral part of the future of the club in spite of the player looking for a move away after an underwhelming season both domestically as well as at European level.

Verratti's team-mate though insists that he is not convinced that the Italian wants to leave the club as he is an important part of the project that is being implemented in the French capital.
 


"From afar, I have read a lot, but I don't know where the truth is", Verratti said in an interview with L'Equipe.

"He never said he wanted to leave PSG.

"He is a great player and an important part of PSG's project, so I hope he'll stay with us.

"I do not want him to go and, frankly, I don't think he will leave us."

Since signing from Italian side Pescara in 2012, Verratti has managed a total of 201 appearances for the French giants, providing his team-mates with 36 assists.
