The most capped player in the history of PSG since last spring, Marquinhos also became the most successful player at the start of the year. And the Brazilian could a little more enter the legend of the club of the capital and more generally of French football, on May 31, by lifting the Champions League.
And for some, this final of the Champions League facing the Inter could constitute the ideal exit for the Brazilian defender, at the club for twelve seasons. Despite a contract which runs until 2027, the former player of AS Rome would wonder about his future and some do not hesitate to claim his departure.
This is particularly the case of Walid Achechour, not convinced by the Brazilian season. “I found it good on the first part of the season, but on certain matches I saw the Marquinhos who stammered his football, feverish, naive and who loses duels. The real leader of this central defense is Pacho and not Marquinhos ”, he observed to start.
Marquinhos in the viewfinder of Saudi Arabia
“It is not normal given its status, I tell myself that it is close to being picked up. Should not be completed ?, he continued. I remain convinced that if Paris wants to progress, it will go through a different central hinge and not with the Marquinhos that we saw on the second part of the season. Is there not a way out in Saudi Arabia or elsewhere? »»
Already approached last summer, Marquinhos would actually be again on the shelves of several Saudi clubs and the latter would recently have returned to the expense of the entourage of the Parisian defender, ready to offer him an XXL contract.
