Captain and long-serving centre-back Marquinhos has signed a new three-year contract which would see the Brazilian extend his stay with the French champions to incredible 15 years.The 29-year-old defender’s previous contract was set to expire in June 2024, but the Parisians wanted to ensure one of their staples remains in the French capital.The former Corinthians trainee arrived as a promising 19-year-old after a single season spent with AS Roma in Italy. PSG then paid $34 million to get the youngster and their owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi clearly never regretted the decision.”I remember when he joined us as a teenager. From the first day, he showed great dedication and a winning spirit. He always gave his all for Paris Saint-Germain. I’m delighted to announce that Marquinhos has agreed to stay with us.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7268605##During his ten seasons at PSG, he’s won seven Ligue 1 titles, six national cups and seven French Super Cups. One thing he hasn’t won, though, is the UEFA Champions League, the competition that remains elusive for the Qatari-backed club.In early April, in the 2-0 win over OGC Nice, Marquinhos reached the milestone of 400 appearances with Paris Saint-Germain. He is the third player to have worn the Parisian shirt the most (405 appearances), behind Jean-Marc Pilorget (435 games) and his teammate Marco Verratti (413).L’aventure continue 🔥🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/3p8secA6jJ— Marcos Aoás Corrêa (@marquinhos_m5) May 19, 2023 The Brazilian announced the new deal via the official PSG website.”I’m happy to announce this contract extension, but also very proud. This is an extraordinary moment for me. Paris Saint-Germain has always given me a lot of confidence, and I too have enormous confidence in this club. I am convinced that we will continue to achieve great things together in the years to come.”
