From the next season, Madrid's "Real" wants to renew their defensive line.

The Italian media reports that the Spanish champions have long admired the gameplay of Paris Saint Germain's defender Marco Veratti and have finally decided to start negotiations for his contract buyout.

According to the press, "Real" intends to pay 25 million euros for the 20-year-old Italian.

It is worth noting that the French team acquired M. Verratti just a year ago and paid almost half the amount - 12 million euros - to his previous team, "Pescara."
