PSG turns a historic page. Marquinhos, 30, pillar of defense since 2013, could leave Paris this summer. The leaders, aware of the emergency, prioritize the recruitment of a right -handed central defender. Luis Campos, despite the uncertainties about his future, leads hunting. Objective: to find a leader capable of filling the void left by the Brazilian, while offering a new dynamic.
The solution is called Mario Gila. The Lazio Rome defender (24) is the number 1 target of PSG. Campos scrutinized it during the quarter -final return from the Europa League against Bodo/Glimt, where the Spaniard played 120 minutes. According to Le Parisien, his solid right -handed profile, combining anticipation and recovery, corresponds to Parisian criteria. An estimated transfer between 25 and 35M €, negotiable with Lazio.
Is this the end of the Marquinhos era at PSG?
PSG keeps alternatives. Dean Huijsen (20, Bournemouth), popular with Real Madrid and Chelsea, seduced by its versatility. But its 58M € clause cools Paris. ILYA ZABARNYI (22, Bournemouth) remains in the boxes, but his transfer comes up against a diplomatic detail: the presence of the Russian Matvey Safonov in the workforce. Obstacles that strengthen interest in Gila.
The succession of Marquinhos prepared in the shadows
Liverpool could also feed the Parisian transfer window. Ibrahima Konaté (24 years old), under contract until 2026, is followed. But PSG favors a pure right -hander, spreading profiles like Nico Schlotterbeck (Dortmund). Virgil van Dijk, extended to Liverpool, is no longer an option. One thing is certain: the club wants a young player, aligned with the vision of Luis Enrique.
Despite rumors about his departure, Luis Campos remains active. Recently sick, he missed the match against Le Havre, but was seen in the stands at Lille-Dortmund in the Champions League. The Emir of Qatar, present at the Parc des Princes, monitors these movements. A question persists: will Campos be there to finalize the recruitment of Gila?
Campos, on a mission to the end?
With Mario Gila, PSG is focusing on the future. But the file remains fragile: competition, negotiations, and future of Campos. One certainty: the Marquinhos era is coming to an end. Make way for succession.
