Paris Saint-Germain sign Brazilian defender Marquinhos

Marquinhos embarks on a new journey

Paris Saint-Germain have completed the signing of Brazilian defender Marquinhos from AS Roma for a reported sum of £30.1million.

Marquinhos has signed a five-year-deal at the club, where he will join his fellow countrymen Lucas Moura, Thiago Silva and Maxwell.

Throughout the summer, Marquinhos was chased by top European clubs like Manchester United, Barcelona and Chelsea.

Signing of Marquinhos will add fuel to Thiago Silva exit rumors as Barcelona have been hot on the heels of Brazilian captain for quite a while now.

Marquinhos will be PSG’s third signing of the summer following the arrivals of Edinson Cavani and Lucas Digne.
