Marco Verratti is determined to quit PSG for Barcelona this summer.

Sport says the Italy midfielder has now settled on his decision and will do what he can to convince PSG to sell.

Barca see Verratti as an eventual successor for captain Andres Iniesta.

The playmaker is prepared to take drastic action, including going AWOL for the start of preseason in Paris.

The players are due back at PSG on July 4 and if a deal has not been struck by then, it's suggested Verratti will deliberately swerve the recall to force his club's hand.
