Report: Marquinhos "disappointed" with PSG role, open to Barcelona transfer

Paris Saint-Germain defender Marquinhos, one of the hottest prospects in football, is thinking of leaving his club, and Barcelona could take advantage.

The Brazilian was on the bench for the entire 90 minutes of PSG's 2-2 draw with Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals last Wednesday, the latest contributor to Marquinhos' growing dissatisfaction with the French powerhouse.

The 21-year-old has been played out of position almost all season, and on the biggest match to this point, he was replaced in the starting lineup by Serge Aurier, who was suspended two months for publicly insulting his coach and teammates.
