The 20 year old, who signed for the French side last summerr from Pescara, has been linked with a move away from Parc des Princes this transfer window. Manchester United were believed to be interested in the talented playmaker after having conceded defeat in signing Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona. <br />

The player's agent Donato di Campli wrote on twitter : "The deal is reached with PSG.<br /><br />"Marco Verratti will remain until 2018. The contract signing will occur after his return from the game in Gabon."<br />
