"I am very happy to extend my contract with Paris Saint-Germain," Verratti told PSG's official website.
"I would like to thank the club for the confidence they have placed in me since I joined. I love the city of Paris and I love Paris Saint-Germain. I will continue to give my all, along with my team-mates, to bring joy and success to our supporters and make our team the best in Europe."
Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the Chairman of the French champions praised the 23-year old and admits he hopes he stays for 'many more years'.
"Marco Verratti is one of the most talented players in Europe. We are delighted to see that each year this player displays his desire, both to the club and the fans, that he believes in Paris Saint-Germain's project.
"I am very proud and I especially want to express how important it is to have him at our club. Marco is an idol of the Parc des Princes public.
"This strong relationship of confidence that exists between our club and Marco Verratti is set to last for many years to come."
