A few days ago, journalist Ben Jacobs reported that Al-Ittihad are keen on signing Marquinhos this summer, but negotiations aren’t advanced yet. Moreover, there’s new information regarding the file.
Paris Saint-Germain are aware of their interest and while the capital club prefer to keep Marquinhos, their captain, as they see him as vital to the team, they might consider selling him if they receive a substantial offer.
L’Equipe’s Loïc Tanzi reports that contact has resumed between Al-Ittihad and Marquinhos. The Brazilian is under contract until 2028, so the Saudi Arabian club could provide PSG a lifeline if the Parisians want to move off that contract.

Over the last year, the French giants have changed their identity as long-time players like Marco Verratti and Neymar Jr. left, and this summer, Kylian Mbappe also departed as a free agent to Real Madrid.
It’ll be intriguing to see if PSG does decide to sell Marquinhos, should the Saudi Arabian side make an irresistible bid. Either way, his potential departure this summer would signify the end of an era.
