Either Gundogan or Verratti would be an amazing signing. Gundogan is also bigger and more physical than Verratti. But I don't think realistically there's much chance of either, not now at least.
On the other hand if we signed Verratti it'd be the first time he weren't the shortest guy on the team.
Better to sign an Italian. Italians usually don't look to leave Italy and especially the biggest team in Juventus when they are finally there. Foreigners look to whatever team shows them the money because they have no natural connection to the team or the country.

I wonder sometimes why so many guys here refuse to accept it.
Those issues verratti has with psg are much less likely to happen in juve or other italien top team.
the truth is, even though some try to deny it, we just can't let an italian player with that much potential go without a justified fight
And if we fail, we will only get to enjoy him like pirlo at 30 something
Verratti next year. Let PSG develop him for us. If he wants to join he can just force his way. We'll have more revenue and a bigger budget next year and less areas needed to strengthen so he can be our #1 target.

Easier said than done. Of course we can let PSG develop him for us, but if he actually develops into a better player, his price automatically rises. He has already proven himself and he is not considered only as a prospect with potential anymore, so it would be a wise decision to snatch him up quickly now and not wait another season, when he becomes an even more sought after player with a big price tag on him.
Also, it's not like you can force your way out of the club just by wishing it. Those kind of situations are always tough and you can never be sure that both parties will agree on a player, that wants to go. Especially if it's a young talented player, who has potential to be one of the best central midfielders one day. PSG are in no need of money, they could just put him in the reserves until his contract expires and make a lesson out of him for the others, who think that contracts mean nothing.
Ohhh, the United kid. Yes I've heard a lot of good things about him, not as much as Pogba at his time at Utd tho. But they're very excited about him. He may be a star in the future. Can't tell because I've never seen him play, but if they're right as they were with Pogba I wan for him to join us
When we sell one of our forwards we should move for Veratti. If the player wants to leave, maybe PSG lets him go for 17-18 million. IMO we can afford this. We are fine on the wings anyway: Asamoah and Peluso for LWB, Isla and Licht for RWB. Other players that can play in those positions: De Ceglie, Padoin, Pepe, even Caceres.
Pirlo is on his last year of contract. Getting Verratti or whoever in his position next season will depend on whether Juve will be offering him a new deal, which I think they will for at least another year as long as he keeps his performance level up.
So you don't want a talented young player with huge potential, because in your eyes some people overrate him?
I have to admit that the overrate/underrate angle is going to get very boring, very quickly with this player. Eventually you'll see some that are too stubborn to change their opinion and we'll just have haters and fanboys like every other player on this forum.
I don't want him for more than 20 million Euros, and I don't think he is as magnificent or vital for our system as some people seem to suggest. If we miss out on him, I'm definitely not going to lose sleep over it.
