Marco Verratti will need to leave Paris Saint-Germain if he wants to challenge for top European honours in the future, says his agent Donato Di Campli.
Verratti's performance in the first leg of PSG's Champions League last-16 clash with Barcelona - which they won 4-0 - earned him rave reviews, and saw him linked with a host of Europe's biggest clubs.
That speculation was batted away by Verratti and Di Campli, and the agent reiterated the 24-year-old's commitment to the Ligue 1 side even after they spectacularly crashed out 6-1 at Camp Nou in the second leg.
"The situation is extremely complicated, he's tied to a very important contract until 2021," the agent told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"He wants to win and, with PSG as they are now, he cannot win.
"The 4-0 [win over Barca] was damaging because it concealed the real problems at PSG.
"He's been in Paris for five years and now has to make a decision: to earn a lot without winning or earn and become a champion?
"It's not a question of money: anyone who buys Verratti would pay a lot. Because there is at least one thing for sure: if he leaves PSG, it will be for a top European club."
