Marquinhos set to snub offers from Saudi clubs to stay at PSG | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain defender Marquinhos has rejected offers from Saudi Pro League clubs (h/t L’Equipe).

Speculation has 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.

The PSG captain has been criticised over his performances in big games, but silenced the doubters after leading them 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.

Marquinhos 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 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 to €70 million.

Despite interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Zabarnyi has his heart set on joining PSG.

PSG’s hefty investment in Zabarnyi means 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.

Lucas Beraldo, who has fallen down the pecking order, is seeking an exit from PSG.
