Paris Saint-Germain are publicly refusing to even consider a sale and will offer Verratti a huge new contract to keep him in France.
Barcelona know they will have to pay almost €100m if the club is tempted towards a sale.
His current contract runs to June 2021.
Barcelona are the only real contenders, as Juventus confirmed they were not interested, while Bayern Munich’s initial offer was said to be as little as €40m.
