PSG chief Leonardo says AS Roma are keen on Marco Verratti.

Verratti moved to PSG in the summer from Pescara.

"I know that in Italy there has been a great deal of talk about this because he is a very strong midfielder who has never played in Serie A. It's only natural he wants to, but there is a zero per cent chance of him leaving," Leonardo told Sky Sport Italia.

"I never received requests, nor spoke to anyone. The only club that asked us for him was Roma. They made an approach to get him on loan, but the idea died there are then because we have no intention of losing him."
