Despite signing an extension with Paris Saint-Germain in May 2023 until 2028, Marquinhos, the 31-year-old central defender and captain, is still the subject of departure rumors during the mercato. Le Parisien reports this Wednesday evening with a clear trend.
“Despite repeated approaches from Saudi Arabia, Marquinhos has not expressed any desire to jump ship!
In love with the club, Marquinhos has experienced some of his greatest emotions in red and blue over the last few months. Now he’s got the competition to contend with.
He can’t afford to let his guard down. He must accept an increasingly regular rotation. Nor will Luis Enrique compromise on his turnover principles.
Behind the scenes, those around him say that he is “always hungry, always wanting to go further”.
The club has realized that it needs to strengthen its ranks to increase competition. The Ukrainian striker Illia Zabarnyi was therefore the obvious choice.

It’s pretty clear, and no surprise, that Marquinhos should continue at PSG. There have been a few rumours, but nothing concrete has come of them. Above all, the Brazilian has repeated several times that he loves the club and the city, with the possibility of finishing his career. If he can help the team all the way.
No doubt the Brazilian international prefers to be a starter on big nights, and the change in status of a captain could be tricky to manage. But Marquinhos has always displayed an exemplary mentality. He can be trusted to accept competition. Above all, this should encourage him to give his all, day in, day out.
This season, the Brazilian has shown that he belongs at the highest level, despite the skeptics who are still hoping for his departure. Let’s hope it continues.
