Chelsea are reportedly “confident” they can sign Paris Saint-Germain star Marco Verratti after launching a £30 million bid, but Hoffenheim will not sell standout defender Niklas Sule.
According to the Daily Mail (h/t Metro), PSG will hold out for more than the £30 million the Blues are said to be offering for Verratti, but Chelsea believe the Italian wouldn't cost the club more than £40 million.
Verratti's agent Donato Di Campli has dropped several hints his client could leave Les Parisiens in the near future, while Italy coach Giampiero Ventura believes the player isn't happy.
