PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN have reportedly confirmed that Marco Verratti is not for sale this summer.
PSG say Marco Verratti is not for sale this summer
The news will come as a blow to Arsenal and Manchester United, both of whom have been linked with the midfielder.
The Premier League duo had received a boost in the pursuit of Verratti last week when Real Madrid announced they were pulling out.
However, it now seems the £45million man is out of reach, with AS Diario claiming that PSG want to hold onto the 22-year-old.
The report says he will stay in the French capital for at least the duration of his current contract, which runs until 2019.
And the club have allayed fears of an exit, after it was claimed in France that talks between Verratti's representatives and the club had gone quiet.
The Italy international enjoyed a successful season with PSG, making 48 appearances in all competitions, helping the club to a domestic treble.
