A key figure at PSG, Marquinhos dropped a small bombshell during the 2025 RTL Sport Trophy ceremony. At 31, the Parisian captain revealed his desire to become… French. A powerful and symbolic statement from a player who has embodied the capital club for more than a decade.
Like Thiago Silva before him, the Brazilian wants to take the next step. “My wife has already applied, and I’m going to do it too,” he revealed. A choice of both heart and life, for a player who feels at home in Paris and wants to formalize his deep bond with France.
More Parisian Than Ever
Having joined PSG in 2013, Marquinhos has experienced it all: growth, titles, disappointments… and now fulfillment. A family man settled long-term in France, the defender fully embraces his attachment to Paris. “My children were born here, my life is here,” he says, without ruling out staying in France even after his career ends.
Sportingly, 2025 will remain his peak. Winner of the Champions League and an incredible sextuple under Luis Enrique, the Parisian captain has won it all. Now, a new star could be added to his legacy: French nationality. One final proof of love between Marquinhos and Paris.
