Paris Saint-Germain 'hope Marco Verratti can help secure Sandro Tonali deal'

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly hopeful that Marco Verratti can help convince his fellow Italy international Sandro Tonali to join Thomas Tuchel's side this summer.

Tonali has been in impressive form for Brescia during the 2019-20 campaign, contributing one goal and five assists in 23 Serie A appearances.

A host of clubs, including Juventus, Barcelona, Liverpool and Manchester United, are believed to be interested in signing the midfielder during this summer's transfer window.

However, according to Le 10 Sport, PSG are hopeful that Verratti can play a key role in bringing the 20-year-old to the French capital for the 2020-21 campaign.

Tonali's existing deal with Brescia is due to expire next summer, although his Italian club do have the option of activating a further 12 months to protect his value.

A recent report claimed that Barca wanted the youngster to be 'their new Andres Iniesta'.
