Marco Verratti’s former agent Donato Di Campli claims PSG used ‘blackmail’ to prevent the midfielder from joining Barcelona.
These explosive statements come as part of a saga surrounding the future of Kylian Mbappé, who has informed the club that he will not sign a new contract, while links exist with Real Madrid.
Di Campli now claims that when Verratti wanted to join Barcelona, PSG made it clear to him that he would be fired by the midfielder. Indeed, in 2017, the Italian midfielder changed agents, moving to the stable of Mino Raiola, but the motivations for this change have never been proven.
Near up, the italian agent did not take gloves : “In Paris, the players are imprisoned, we never do what they want but the club is a prison and there is blackmail.
A settlement of accounts
” The attitude of PSG is always blackmail. We had decided to go to Barcelona. This obviously did not please the emir. Al Khelaifi even told me that if I kept trying to do the operation with Barça, Verratti would make me leave. And that’s what happened. I’m sure Marco was scared, he won’t admit it, but that’s the way it is.”.
