PSG will include Verratti in first bid for Barcelona star Neymar

PSG are willing to include Marco Verratti in their offer for Barcelona star Neymar.

While it's been claimed PSG are prepared to pay Neymar's €222m buyout clause to prise him away, Don Balon says a first offer will be tabled which will include Verratti.

The opening bid will be €120m cash plus Verratti in exchange for Neymar.

Barca have been pursuing Verratti since the end of last season and had previously been quoted a price of €100m to sign the midfielder.

Meanwhile, Neymar's father is due in Paris later today for talks with PSG officials.
