Barcelona Transfer News: Thiago Silva Reveals Marquinhos Contact Amid Rumours

Paris Saint-Germain captain Thiago Silva has confirmed Marquinhos is a transfer target for La Liga giants Barcelona but claimed several other elite European sides are also keen to sign the youngster.

The Brazil centre-back went on to criticise his team-mate's representatives for their management of the 21-year-old former Roma defender's disjointed career so far, per Sport.

Following his transfer to PSG, Marquinhos' role has predominantly been as back-up for Silva and his international colleague, David Luiz, but his club captain admitted there are long-term admirers.

The situation with Marquinhos is difficult.
