Marco Verratti is an Italian footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain. Verratti is known for his confidence on the ball and ability to retain possession in tight spaces when under pressure, due to his low centre of gravity and resulting balance.

Verratti began his career with Italian club Pescara in 2008, where he soon rose to prominence as one of the best young midfielders in Europe, helping the team to win the 2011–12 Serie B title, and winning the 2012 Bravo Award. His playing style drew comparisons with Andrea Pirlo, due to his passing ability, vision, and control, as well as his similar transition from the role of trequartista to that of a regista. 

In July 2012, Verratti transferred to French side Paris Saint-Germain, where he won four consecutive Ligue 1 titles from 2012 to 2016, among other domestic and individual trophies. His brilliant performance attracted Barcelona's attention which led to Neymar's move thereafter. 

At the international level, Verratti represented the Italy under-21 football team at the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, winning a runners-up medal, and being named to the all-star squad for the tournament. At the senior level, he made his Italy debut in 2012 and represented his country at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
