Serie A is our catchment area
Its the league where we can still attract top talent since we have all the prestige and the leverage and the finances to go with it. You have to go back to 2011 where we signed a top player from outside Italy(Vidal) but he was more like the exception to the rule. We've mostly signed unwanted players from abroad and achieved high success rate. Next thing you're going to tell me is that Verratti is an Italian, Juventus fan and has Raiola as an agent and it all adds up but tell me when have PSG sold a top player since the Qatari's came to power ? They've had FFP issues since the beginning, its not new. Even if they had to sell someone, i'd bet on it being Neymar since he's acting like a douchebag that has pissed off his entire team and he's doing all this perhaps to secretly engineer a move to Madrid. Even then i wouldnt count on it.
Secondly , the outlay in terms of BOTH transfer fees and wages is going to be huge for Verratti. We have to break our wage barrier to bring him here and atm that's unsustainable for a club like us.
SMS on the other hand is an up and comer, plays for a selling club who would sell in an instant if the offer is good and is on miniscule wages. If there were to appear a situation where we have to fork out 100M for him and if we think he's worth it, we would do it. Whether its by financing it with a Dybala sale is another matter.\
Thirdly , and most importantly is tactical. Where would he fit in our team ? We're basically talking about selling our most reliable CM to accommodate him, we're chopping and changing again and Allegri would need another 6 months to figure out his best team. We are not going to challenge in Europe this way.
