Marquinhos considers a return to Brazil after leaving PSG

Under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until June 2028, Marquinhos (31) is already looking to the future. And the ten-time French champion seems to have already thought through a meticulously crafted plan.

“I still have two years left on my contract with PSG and then we’ll see. I’d be happy to return to Brazil,” the São Paulo-born player told UOL. “And in Brazil, there’s a lot of pressure, especially at the club I’d like to return to, which is Corinthians. It’s the club that opened doors for me, where it all began. I’m very attached to it and I’d be delighted to wear that shirt again.”

Having come through the ranks at São Paulo’s academy, Marquinhos made his professional debut there in 2012. However, his time there was short-lived, despite winning the Copa Libertadores, as he soon moved to Italy to join AS Roma, where the 2012–13 season was the first and only one he spent in Serie A during his career.

Scouted by PSG, he moved to France in the summer of 2013 and has remained there ever since, gradually becoming a true legend at the Parisian club, for whom he has now made over 500 appearances and won no fewer than 38 trophies.

Although he is now used less frequently by Luis Enrique, the Brazilian international, who has 103 caps (seven goals), remains a key member of the Spanish manager’s squad, who continues to place his full trust in him in the Champions League (10 starts in 11 appearances this season).
