The Italian U-21 international has joined the cash-laden capital club on a five-year deal and has vowed to repay the faith shown in him
Despite acquiring the services of several top class players in the form of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029, PSG have once again raided the Serie A, signing promising Italian youngster Marco Verratti from Pescara for a
fee believed to be in the region of 12 million Euros.
Les Parisiens are blessed with quality midfielders with the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Motta-c34897 and Sissoko, currently on the books of the French club.
However, the bosses at the club were impressed by what they have seen in Marco Verratti and the Ile giants wasted little time in attaining the services of the Italian.
The 19-year-old has expressed his delight at signing for the Ligue 1 outfit and is excited at the prospect of playing alongside players like Ibrahimovic, Lavezzi and Pastore.
"It's an amazing feeling to be rubbing shoulders with players like Ibra, [Ezequiel] Lavezzi and [Javier] Pastore. What an amazing experience. I can’t wait for the season to kick off.”
While talking to reporters, the young midfielder stated that the opportunity to play for one of the best sides in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 was too hard to resist. Although it was difficult for the Italian to leave his beloved club Pescara, Verratti said that he just couldn’t
say no to PSG.
"I love Pescara, but in life you have to make choices, this kind of opportunity comes around maybe just once in a lifetime, so I couldn't say no to PSG," said Verratti.
Verratti earned massive praise in the wake of stunning performances for Pescara last season and many compared him with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 international Andrea Pirlo.
The former Pescara player is flattered by the comparisons and has vowed to follow in the footsteps of the Juventus player and hopes that his move to PSG will help him achieve that feat.
"The comparisons are flattering. Pirlo is one of the best players in the world in his position. I'll do my best to follow his example and I think here at PSG I'll find the right conditions to do exactly that."
Verratti was influential in Pescara’s promotion winning campaign last season and the youngster will be hoping to make a name of himself at Parc des Princes.
