Paris Saint-Germain defender Marquinhos has decided to continue his journey with the French giants despite offers from Saudi Pro League clubs (h/t L’Equipe).
Speculations have been mounting on the Brazilian’s future due to the imminent arrival of Illia Zabarnyi.
However, the 31-year-old has reportedly committed his future to the Ligue 1 Champions, thus marching into his 13th season at Parc des Princes.
The PSG skipper faced a lot of criticism over his performances in big games, but he silenced the doubters after leading Les Parisiens to their first-ever Champions League title.
He formed an indomitable partnership with Willian Pacho at the heart of PSG’s defence and won the treble.
He featured in 48 games in all competitions and helped Luis Enrique’s side concede the fewest goals in Ligue 1.
Ranking first for the most number of appearances and the titles won, Marquinhos’ enduring legacy will go down in the annals of PSG’s history.
The French giants are close to securing a move for Zabarnyi from Bournemouth. They are working on closing the gap in the transfer fee, which could rise up to €70 million.
Despite interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Zabarnyi has his heart set on joining PSG.
The Ukrainian will be coming on the back of a stellar Premier League campaign, which saw him grow into one of the most coveted centre-backs in Europe.
PSG’s hefty investment in Zabarnyi means that he could be a regular starter this season.
However, Marquinhos is determined to fight for his place in the squad. He believes that staying at PSG is the best decision to secure his spot in Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad for next year’s World Cup.
Meanwhile, Lucas Beraldo, who has fallen down the pecking order, is seeking an exit from PSG to enjoy regular game time elsewhere.
