Champions League glory is firmly in the sights of Marco Verratti after the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder signed a contract extension.
Verratti penned a new five-year deal with the French champions that will see him remain in Paris until 2021.
The 23-year-old has won four consecutive Ligue 1 titles since arriving from Pescara in 2012 and the Italian is now eyeing European success under new boss Unai Emery, having failed to progress beyond the quarter-finals in the past four seasons.
We have already won a lot in France and I want to keep on winning and now we also hope to win in Europe because that s our aim, the club s aim, Verratti said via the club s website.
It s a very, very ambitious aim, but I m a player that likes this type of objective because it means you play for a big team and I m very happy.

a 15-time Italy international added: Obviously if you play for four years with the great players at this club, and are coached by a great coach, then you have to improve and I have progressed a lot here, in every department of my game, because you re playing in big games, every season you re playing in the Champions League and I think that s the best opportunity possible for a young player.
In my four years here I have improved a lot, but I know I can still do better.
