Chelsea target Marco Verratti has reportedly rejected a contract worth over £8million a year with French giants Paris Saint-Germain, as he seeks an exit from the club.

PSG’s former sporting director Patrick Kluivert has admitted that Verratti wants to go, but that he expects the Ligue 1 giants to demand huge money for him if he does end up leaving.

Chelsea and Barcelona are the two clubs being linked with the 24-year-old, though reports claim that the Italy international favours a move to Barcelona over Chelsea.

The 24-year-old is a key part of this PSG team, and it will have to take over £80m to secure his signature.
