Despite an extension at Paris Saint-Germain in May 2023 until 2028, Marquinhos has been called into question several times in recent months, and there have been rumors of a departure for the 30-year-old central defender and captain. This Tuesday morning, L’Equipe reports on this increasingly likely outcome.
“As the weeks go by, the future of the Brazilian, under contract until 2028, has never seemed so uncertain. In the offices of Campus PSG, as the Saudi Arabian Championship has been pressing for several months on the defender’s case, the hypothesis of the captain’s departure is no longer dismissed out of hand. It would be the end of an era. On May 31, in the Munich night, “Marqui” could bring it to a close in such a special way.”
We’re cautious, there’s nothing concrete here. The possibility of Marquinhos’ transfer has been raised many times in recent years, but has never been confirmed. It’s hard to get a clear picture of a rumour that keeps cropping up without any concrete evidence. One day, the Brazilian is bound to leave. Could it be this summer? It’s not impossible.
After 12 years at the club, the defender may have other ideas, and PSG is always looking to strengthen its squad. Everyone can be challenged. Then we’ll have to see how feasible and interesting a replacement is. Nothing obvious. Above all, let’s let PSG and their captain finish the season before taking stock and considering possible choices.
