A shockwave in Paris. For more than a decade, Marquinhos has embodied Paris Saint-Germain — loyal, captain, leader, and the symbol of stability. Yet rumours of a possible exit are beginning to grow louder.
Could this be the beginning of the end for the Brazilian in Paris? Reports suggest he might be tempted by one last big move, with Saudi Arabia reportedly interested. But one respected figure in French football has another destination in mind.
Claude Makélélé, the former France international who played for both PSG and Real Madrid, has made his opinion clear in an interview with Trivela: “He plays for the best team in the world, PSG. But I’d love to see him at Madrid. He’s intelligent, strong in duels, exceptional in one-on-one situations. He’s my dream player for Real Madrid. But I don’t think Paris will let him go.”
Makélélé’s dream: Marquinhos in white
A bold, almost romantic statement that reignites speculation around the PSG captain’s future.
Makélélé dreams of seeing Marquinhos in the famous white shirt, commanding the defence at the Santiago Bernabéu.
But in Paris, the doors remain firmly closed. The Brazilian has shown no desire to leave, and PSG have no intention of letting their leader go. He remains a cornerstone of the club’s sporting project.
Real Madrid focused on youth
Behind the scenes, nothing is ever certain. Clubs from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and MLS are reportedly keeping a close eye on the situation.
As for Real Madrid, the Spanish champions are not expected to make a move. Florentino Pérez and his recruitment team are said to prefer younger profiles, such as Ibrahima Konaté (Liverpool) and Dayot Upamecano (Bayern Munich).
So was it a simple compliment, or a discreet message to the player? Hard to say. What is clear is that interest in Marquinhos never really disappears, and whenever Real Madrid enters the conversation, the story is never over.
