Captain of PSG and last representative of the recent first era of this PSG QSI version, Marquinhos has lived everything with the capital's club since its arrival in 2013 from AS Roma. He survived all coaches and all sports directors, the biggest disillusions and the turns taken by the Parisian project, all thanks to his daily involvement. However, this season is broadcasting the strange feeling that this could be the last of the 31 -year -old Brazilian defender.
He is under contract until 2028, enough to see coming, but between the interest of Saudi clubs and the will of PSG to continue the rejuvenation of his workforce, he seems eligible for a departure. Is it aware of this? Questioned at a press conference on the war of the Coupe de France against Reims, he spoke without detour to his future at PSG. “”My last games with PSG? I saw great players in the top of their form have this kind of question“, He started by saying.
Marquinhos wants to stay but …
“The most important thing is what you feel. I said it, I play the next match as if it were the last, I have been thinking like that for a few years, it's the best way to approach this job and this sport. It goes quickly football. I can't predict anything. The leaders, the coach … They are happy with my work. I give the 100% to each match. I have so much love for this club. I give the maximum in every game. After if they one day think that this is no longer the time to have Marquinhos at PSG … it will happen one day or the other. But I have always given the max here. I still think that I can bring a lot to this team ”he continued.
Clearly, Marquinhos will not be the one who will rush his departure. But he is well aware that he may one day be pushed towards the exit, he who saw other PSG executives leaving earlier than hoped, like his compatriot Thiago Silva. Above all, he knows that PSG will mainly seek to recruit in his post this summer, a central defender axis entitled, to compete with him or succeed him. This is the whole question.
