€60m Man Utd target happy he chose PSG

PSG star Marquinhos sounds happy about signing a new deal with the Ligue 1 club.

​Targeted by Manchester United and Barcelona, the star defender will continue to flourish alongside Thiago Silva.

“I’m very happy to have extended at PSG. I’ve returned to Paris in a calm state of mind,” the 23-year-old told PSG TV.

The former Roma player was the subject of a €60 million offer  from the Red Devils, the second they’d made for him. Both were rejected.

“I love life here, and I have my friends, too,” the Brazilian continued.

“I’m happy here. Now, I need to focus on working and doing everything possible for the club. I hope that we get to spend many more years together”.

A former Roma player, he was signed in 2014 by PSG for €31.5m, having played a starring role over the last two seasons alongside Thiago Silva, enough to earn regular call-ups from his country.
