Marco Verratti wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain for Barcelona but the French giants are unwilling to sell, claimed former director of football Patrick Kluivert, who insisted the Italian midfielder is worth more than €100million.
Linked with a move away from PSG throughout the 2016-17 season, speculation is rife that Verratti is Barca's main transfer target.
And Kluivert – who left his role as PSG's director of football earlier in June – said Verratti wants to move to Camp Nou.
"I know the president very well. Verratti renewed last year for four years and I know that Verratti wants to come to Barca but PSG will not let him," Kluivert told La Sexta.
"It's going to be very difficult [for Barca to sign him].
"If a player is not happy in the end the one that decides are PSG."
It has been reported that Barca are prepared to spend between €70m and €80m for Verratti's services.
But Kluivert said: "Verratti's worth more than that. I think he's worth more than €100m."
