The future of Marquinhos within Paris Saint-Germain is written in dotted lines. Parisian recruiters are looking for a right-handed central defender.
He is one of the last veterans of Paris Saint-Germain, QSI version. One of the ultimate Parisian players having been part of all the good times of the last decade, but also the worst. Recruited in 2013 while playing for AS Rome, Marquinhos experienced the 2015 comeback against FC Barcelona in the Champions League, the incredible elimination against Manchester United in 2019, still in C1, or even the exit of road against Real Madrid in 2022. Matches during which the Brazilian defender had his share of responsibility, and which left a lasting mark on him. So much so that his current level would raise questions within the club.
And according to recent information revealed by Loïc Tanzi, a departure from Marquinhos can no longer be ruled out. The journalist of The Team opened up for the first time this week, on the daily sports channel, also mentioning the emergence of Lucas Beraldo under the leadership of Luis Enrique. “ They are looking for a right-handed central defender for next season. This is not a good sign for Marquinhos. » A little sentence whose content he repeated this Saturday in the columns of the newspaper.
Paris seller?
Explaining that Beraldo was the defender most used by Luis Enrique since January 1, the journalist noted that the player who arrived during the last winter transfer window was well ahead of Marquinhos, with 283 more minutes of play. For him, a departure of the PSG captain next summer is no longer a fanciful hypothesis. Several clubs are also on the lookout in the event of the Auriverde international being put on the market. Bayern Munich and Premier League teams are reportedly in the running.
As for Luis Enrique, he agreed to respond on the subject on February 24, recalling that the players who left PSG only did so because they were at the end of their contract or because Paris was a seller. Linked to the capital club until June 2028 after having extended almost a year ago, Marquinhos could well fall into this second category.
