PSG announce new long-term deal for Marco Verratti.

Midfielder Marco Verratti has signed a new contract at Paris Saint-Germain, tying him to the club until 2024.

The popular Italian’s previous deal had been set to expire in two years, as per iSports API data.

But PSG have avoided losing him on a lower fee by tying Verratti down to a new five-year extension.

Still just 26, Verratti has been at the club since 2012, having arrived from hometown club Pescara that year.

He has since made almost 300 appearances for the Parisian club and won every major domestic honour available, according to iSports API.
