3. Marco Verratti – Paris Saint-Germain
The 22-year-old is one of the most exciting midfielders in Europe, and his performances in the Champions League last season – in which he averaged 4.6 tackles per-game for the competition’s quarter-finalists – suggest that the Italy international could be a welcome addition to any of Europe’s giants.
What’s more, the Parc des Princes star has drawn comparisons to Andrea Pirlo in his attacking play, and has spoken of his influence in style by Barcelona playmaker Andres Iniesta [via Goal].
With the midfielder arguably yet to reach his peak, he could become one of the finest in his position in world football.
