- PSG midfielder Marco Veratti reveals he wants to join Real Madrid

- Real Madrid were 2-1 victors over PSG at Parc des Princes

- Veratti was red carded in the match for a second bookable offence

Marco Veratti has reportedly told Paris Saint Germain that he wants to leave and join Real Madrid as he believes he is not currently at the best club to fulfil his potential, Don Balon reports.

The 25-year-old has been one of the key players in the French club since 2012 and played an instrumental role in the Parisians Ligue 1 success in the past few years.

However, after PSG were ousted by Real Madrid, the Spanish media outfit said that Verratti is eager to go against PSG’s wishes and join Real Madrid with president Florentino Perez has become aware of his desire to do so.

With PSG dropping out of the Champions League again this season, it seems clear Veratti may be unable to lift the major honours he wants if he remains at the Parc des Princes.

Veartti has now supposedly given up on moving to the Nou Camp after the Catalan club failed to sign him last summer following an outrageous asking price from PSG.

Don Balon also stated that Verratti could certainly have a big role to play in Los Blancos midfield with doubts over Toni Kroos’ future after being linked with Manchester United.

According to the Independent, Kroos has been a target for Jose Mourinho, and Verratti is a similar style of player who could make an ideal replacement.

Zinedine Zidane men ensured qualification into the Champions League last eight after a 2-1 victory and the man in the middle, Veratti, was given his marching orders for a second bookable offence.
