After breaking through at his first club, Corinthians, Marcos Aoás Corrêa – better known as Marquinhos – made the move to Europe by signing with AS Roma in 2012. It took less than a year for the gifted young defender to cross the Alps.
Signed by Paris Saint-Germain at just 19 years old, the Brazilian quickly established himself as a key figure at the capital club – and also within the Seleção. A true wall in defense, equally capable of stepping into midfield when needed, “Marqui” won over the City of Light with his character, unwavering loyalty, and remarkable maturity. To top it off, he is now one of the most decisive defenders in PSG history.
An impeccable vice-captain alongside Thiago Silva, he inherited the armband after his compatriot’s departure in the summer of 2020 and has consistently proven his leadership season after season. His deep love for Paris Saint-Germain was reaffirmed with a contract extension through 2027. A true leader.
