He is getting a bit older now, but the things he does are amazing. "He is just coming back from an injury and he will return to top form for the return."We are fortunate to have his successor with us. That is the message I gave Iniesta when we spoke." Verratti, 24, joined PSG from Pescara in 2012 and has since developed into a key figure for the Ligue 1 champions.He has a contract with the Parisians until June 2021.</blockquote>
