Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio is a big fan of Paris Saint-Germain’s Marco Verratti. “He’s the closest thing to Andrea Pirlo.”
The 20-year-old continues to be linked with a future in Turin and Marchisio would happily welcome his international teammate.
“Marco is young and he needs to improve, but he already has some great qualities,” the Bianconero told La Stampa.
“It’s disappointing that a talent like him has had to go and play his football outside of Italy, but, as he says, the market opens every six months so there is always a chance…”

“He’s the closest Italian player to Andrea,” Marchisio added. “Pirlo is a great and he still has lots of years to play.

“Will he come to Juventus? That is a question that you should ask someone else…”
