Marco Verratti: 'Juventus move would be a step back'

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti insists that joining Juventus would be a "step back" in his career, as he plans to "win everything" at the Parc des Princes.

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti has insisted that he would not consider a move to Juventus, as he believes that it would be a "step back" in his career.

The 21-year-old is reported to have already rejected a move to the Serie A champions in 2012, just before his move to Paris on a five-year deal from Pescara.

Verratti has since established himself as a key player at PSG with some impressive displays, which are thought to have caught the attention of Juve and Real Madrid. However, the Italian has made it clear that he intends to stay at the Parc des Princes and "win everything".

"When I was a child I loved the Bianconeri, but today I am happy in Paris," Verratti told L'Equipe.

"After all, PSG have one of the greatest projects in the world. If I were to go to Juventus now, it would without doubt be a step back.

"In Paris I have the possibility to win everything over the next few years."

Verratti has made 21 Ligue 1 appearances for Laurent Blanc's side so far this season.
