offer for the PSG star but they insist no contact
has been made whatsoever
Real Madrid have rubbished rumours that they
have lodged a bid with Paris Saint-Germain for
Marco Verratti , insisting that they have not even
made an enquiry about the availability of the
midfielder.
The Italy international is considered one of the
most talented young playmakers in the game and
has been repeatedly been linked with a host of top
clubs, including Los Blancos.
Indeed, it was even reported on Thursday that
Madrid, who appointed Rafael Benitez as their new
coach on Wednesday, had made an offer for the
22-year-old.
However, the Spanish side moved quickly to deny
making any approach for Verratti.
"In light of the rumours spread by various media
outlets concerning an alleged offer on the part of
Real Madrid for the player Marco Verratti, the club
states that Real Madrid have not made any contact
with PSG or the player's agent, and therefore these
rumours are completely untrue," a club statement
read.
PSG paid a reported €12 million to prise Verratti
away from his native Pescara in the summer of
2012 and he has since played a key role in the
club's three successive Ligue 1 titles, as well as
this season's domestic treble.
Last week, Madrid also moved to deny they had
made an approach for in-demand Juventus star
Paul Pogba.
