Reports in the Spanish press of a recent meeting between Verratti's agent and Barcelona presidential candidate Toni Freixa fuelled rumours of a possible move to the Nou Camp for the Italy international.
Barca - despite being unable to complete player registrations and field new signings until January due to a FIFA-imposed transfer ban - are looking to strengthen their midfield following the departure of captain Xavi, and Verratti is among the reported candidates. However, Verratti's agent Donati Di Campli insists the 22-year-old is unlikely to leave the Ligue 1 champions any time soon.
He said to Sky Italia: "I haven't seen Freixa, as was reported in the media, but I have spoken to him on the telephone. But I speak with a lot of people every day and it doesn't mean anything.
"Marco is absolutely calm, he is happy in Paris and has a long-term contract. Whoever wants him needs to get in contact directly with Paris St Germain and not with us. There's nothing else for us to add."
