Neymar is likened to a prisoner in the golden castle at PSG
Marco Verratti's former agent, Donato Di Campli, believes that snatching the player from PSG is impossible.
According to Di Campli, Real Madrid's efforts to lure Neymar, another PSG player, are impossible. PSG has enough financial appeal and incentives to prevent any rival from trying to steal the player.
"No team can take Neymar from PSG. It is a team with more potential than any other team. Neymar and the PSG players are locked in a golden castle that they themselves do not want to give up. PSG's contract cannot exist at any other team. Ligue 1 is a false championship with only one real team. PSG players still stay despite that fact," Di Campli commented onTuttosportJanuary 18
Di Campli had unsuccessfully attempted to bring Verratti from PSG to Barca, in the summer transfer window of 2017. After the deal fell through, the Italian broker also stopped working with his compatriot.

When he failed to bring Verratti to Barca, Di Campli felt betrayed. The Italian expert complained: "With Verratti and PSG, I had the worst experience in my career as an agent. Without gratitude, Verratti does not exist for me. With PSG, I was not only against a club but also against a state."
After apologizing to fans for his contact with Barca, Verratti stayed at PSG. The Italian star continues to be a mainstay of the French team.
