Paris Saint-Germain has reportedly made its captain, Marquinhos, available for transfer this summer. The French club is seeking a fee in the range of €40 million to €50 million for the Brazilian defender.
The decision is seen as part of coach Luis Enrique's plan to rejuvenate the squad and introduce new talent into the defense. Marquinhos, 30, has been a fixture at PSG for over a decade and is under contract until 2028.
Real Madrid is among the clubs identified as potentially interested parties. The Spanish team faced defensive challenges throughout the recent season due to injuries.
While Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is said to prioritize a younger profile like William Saliba for defensive reinforcements, the opportunity to sign an experienced player like Marquinhos for the proposed price is being considered.
In addition to European interest, Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr is also reportedly targeting Marquinhos. Al-Nassr aims to bolster its defense as part of a plan to compete for domestic and Asian honors.
Marquinhos' experience in top European competitions and his leadership qualities make him an attractive option for teams seeking immediate defensive stability.
Despite his age, the defender is expected to perform at a high level for several more seasons, according to reports. PSG's openness to selling a long-serving captain is viewed as a notable development ahead of the transfer window.
