While the futures of Messi and Neymar are being clarified, PSG continue to work on next season.
One of the first steps has been to renew the contract of one of the great stalwarts of the ‘Qatar Sports Investments era’: Marquinhos.
The 29-year-old Brazilian defender has extended his contract at the Parc des Princes until 2028.
“I am delighted to sign a contract extension, but also very proud,” said Marquinhos in a statement on the official PSG website.
“This is a very special moment for me. Paris Saint-Germain has always shown confidence in me, and I also have a lot of confidence in this club.
“I am convinced that we will continue to achieve great things together in the years to come.”
Youngster to PSG captain
Marquinhos joined PSG in 2013 from Roma for a fee of 31.4 million euros and has since become captain of the club.
Since then, he has made 405 appearances for PSG, scored 38 goals, provided 10 assists and collected 26 titles: seven Leagues, six Cups, six League Cups and seven French Super Cups.
“We are very happy Marquinhos has extended his time with the Paris Saint-Germain family,” PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said.
“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.
“His football talent, experience and commitment to the club are exceptional. I know we will have many more successes together as Marquinhos‘ history continues with PSG.”
