PSG star, Marco Verratti has extended his contract at the club.
The amazing midfielder recently penned a new deal that will keep him at the French club until 2024.
His former deal was supposed to expire in 2021, but PSG has acted fast by tying their most successful player ever down for more years.
The Italy international joined PSG from Pescara in 2012 and has made 290 appearances for the club, contributing 48 assists to go with his nine goals while winning 22 trophies along the way.
Veratti had this to say, “I think I’m coming to the most important period of my career,”
“I think at 27, you know a lot more things, you have more experience and I think it’s the age to do things right. That’s why I’m really happy to be able to continue here in Paris.”
“I feel like I play for a team that has a very big project. For me, it’s the main thing because I want to try to win as much as possible. And here we have this possibility because we have a great team, we have a great coach. We can do great things together.”
Manager Thuchel also said, “He’s a leader. Everybody can be a leader but not the way he does. The difference is in the little things,”
“He’s always at 100 per cent and concerned about everybody’s happiness. He shows great empathy. He can be a leader regarding that kind of things. On the pitch he has the skills.
“He plays fast and simple. He’s amazing. He’s an extraordinary player. We’re very happy he’s here with us.”
