Verratti good enough for any club –Cavani
Edinson Cavani has taken the time to praise Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Marco Verratti and believes the Italy international has what it takes to succeed at any big European club.
Verratti has developed into a key figure at PSG since joining the club from Pescara in 2012, the midfielder quickly establishing himself as a first-team regular under Laurent Blanc.
The 23-year-old’s form has seen him linked with Real Madrid and Barcelona in recent months, with Cavani confident his colleague would flourish at either Spanish giant.
“Verratti is a phenomenon who could play for any big team in Europe,” Cavani said.
“He is the best player I have ever played with, both for the way he plays on the pitch and for his behaviour off the pitch. He is a great guy, always positive and very nice. He has class and elegance. He sometimes looks like a veteran already.
“If he continues to work like this, he will continue to be one of the best there is. It’s a joy to be playing with him.”
Like Verratti, Cavani has been heavily linked with a move away from PSG, with Juventus believed to be keen to lure him back to Serie A.
He recently admitted that he feels flattered the Turin side are keeping an eye on his situation, but no decision has been taken on his future.
