Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti has said he does not think about signing for Real Madrid or any other big club as he feels like part of family at the French football club.

Verratti admitted at a press conference on Thursday that he feels grateful to have a lot of clubs interested in him, but underlined that his goal is winning the Champions League with PSG, reports on Thursday.

He also added that it's not the time to talk about the transfer market and that he has no intention of leaving Paris because he is very happy in the French capital.

When asked about the reasons why he does not think about Real Madrid, Verratti considered that in PSG he feels as part of a family and a project that began five years ago with other team-mates whom he wants to win titles with.

The Italian midfielder denied that his value could approach 100 million euros ($109 million), noting that no player should be worth that kind of money.
