Marquinhos signs new Paris Saint-Germain contract until 2028
Baku, May 19, AZERTAC
Paris Saint-Germain have announced that captain Marquinhos has signed a new contract at the Parc des Princes until the summer of 2028, according to Sports Mole.
The 29-year-old took over as captain following Thiago Silva's exit on a free transfer in the summer of 2020 and has remained an irreplaceable figure in the Parisiens' backline.
Marquinhos has scored two goals and set up one more in 42 outings across all tournaments during the current season, starting 29 Ligue 1 games for the runaway leaders.
Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi also hailed the centre-back's "winning spirit" and "exceptional" commitment to the Parisiens, whom he has represented since his teenage years.
"We are very happy Marquinhos has extended his time with the Paris Saint-Germain family. I remember when he joined the Club at the age of 19. From day one, he showed great dedication and a winning spirit - always fighting for the Paris Saint-Germain jersey," Al-Khelaifi added.
Marquinhos learned his trade in the Corinthians youth academy before venturing into European football with Roma, joining on loan in the summer of 2012 before making his stay permanent six months later.
Having hit the ground running in Europe, Marquinhos spent just one full year in Rome before joining PSG in a €31.4m (£27.3m) deal 10 years ago, and he has since made 405 appearances for the club in all tournaments.
