Barcelona Transfer News: Marco Verratti to Force PSG Exit, Dani Ceballos Rumours

Marco Verratti is reportedly ready to push through a move to Barcelona from Paris Saint-Germain after setting his heart on a switch to the Camp Nou.

According to Marca (h/t Uche Amako of the Daily Express), the Italian will rebel against any decision by PSG to block his transfer to La Liga.

The player has reportedly agreed his wages with Barca, prompting Verratti to boycott training with Les Parisiens, per Marca.

According to football writer David Amoyal, PSG have a track record of being stubborn when players wish to leave:

La Sexta (h/t Amako) recently quoted former PSG director of football Patrick Kluivert declaring the Ligue 1 team will not allow the talented midfielder to depart.

"I know the president very well, and I also know that Verratti wants to go to Barcelona, but PSG will not let him leave," he said. "He renewed his contract last year, and it will be very difficult [for Barca to sign him]."

The 24-year-old has developed into one of Europe's most coveted players, becoming a regular for his club.

The midfielder featured 35 times in Ligue 1 and the Champions League last season, scoring three goals and assisting seven times, per WhoScored.com.

In other news, Barca target Dani Ceballos will decide his own future after witnessing his stock rise in the past months.

Per Ignasi Oliva, Alberto Pinero and Francisco Rico of Goal, the Real Betis starlet will have the pick of potential new clubs, with his release clause standing at only €15 million. Barca are in the hunt to capture the youngster, with the player denying he has cut a deal to join Real Madrid. 

According to Radio Sevilla (h/t Oliva, Pinero and Rico), Juventus are also interested in grabbing the 20-year-old for a bargain fee after bidding €20 million.

Bleacher Report's Sam Tighe recently highlighted the player's attributes:

Ceballos was one of Spain's star players during the recent UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Poland, and the top sides in Europe will have been alerted to his outstanding potential.

Verratti and Ceballos have the exuberance the Blaugrana require as they enter a fresh era under new manager Ernesto Valverde.

Both players would bring a new dimension to Barca's play and would swell the squad as they attempt to catch Real Madrid on the trophy front in the next 12 months.
