Amid interest from England and Spain, the Ligue 1 champions are doing everything they can to tie down the 22-year-old Brazilian on a long-term deal

When Paris Saint-Germain swooped to sign Marquinhos from Roma for €30 million in 2014, they were aware they were acquiring one of the most promising centre-backs in the game.
Three years at the Parc des Princes have seen the Brazilian begin to realise his potential, flanked by Thiago Silva, who is perhaps the most stylish defender of the modern era. His compatriot’s poise and reading of the game grants him a classy air, and 22-year-old Marquinhos is a defender built of the same mould.
