France Football
Verratti is now in his 12th season in French capital having swapped Pescara for the Parc des Princes as a bright-eyed 19-year-old in the summer of 2012, and has racked up 29 major honours since.
A midfield metronome, and arguably the best in the world in his position, the Italy international has attracted admiring glances from across Europe over the last decade, but he has become a fixture with PSG and in Paris.
“As soon as I arrived here, I fell in love,” Verratti told France Football. “I immediately fell in love with this city. It’s impossible not to love Paris.
Watch: Mischievous Marco Verratti
“I spent many of my days discovering, walking, visiting museums, exhibitions. For the first two or three years, I really liked it. People didn’t stop me in the streets.”
Naturally, Verratti’s fame soon saw that latter appeal diminish, but he is unlikely to swap his life in Paris for a new project any time soon having signed a four-year contract extension in December.
Verratti has averaged more than three tackles per game over the last year, but is also in the 99th percentile league-wide for attempted passes and progressive passes, making him one of the biggest assets on both sides of the ball in the game today.
