Marquinhos hopes Marco Verratti will stay at PSG with him
The defender hopes Verratti will still be in Paris when the new season begins
"I can't speak for him, it all depends on negotiations," the Brazilian said
The Paris Saint-Germain dressing room is aware that Marco Verratti would like to leave the club this summer.
Keeping that in mind, some of his team-mates are trying to convince him to turn down Barça and to continue under the orders of Unai Emery, a coach he's never had a 'feeling' with.
Talking to Sportv, Brazilian defender Marquinhos said of Verratti's future: "I can't answer for him because it all depends on the negotiations, which, along with contract renewals, can go on for a long time."
However, he was optimistic that his team-mate will stay, adding "I think we are going to stay" in reference to his own personal situation, too.
"I have offers and I'm negotiating, but I am really happy in Paris. The club has a strong project and is always looking to bring in big players," he said.
"PSG are not a selling club, they have an important project which focuses on forming a base around a style of play."
Marquinhos himself was once the subject of Barça interest -- and may be again in the future -- but PSG's reluctance to sell saw the Catalan side eventually move for Samuel Umtiti.
