PSG puts one of its leaders up for sale, €40M and he comes to Real Madrid

Throughout the entire season, Real Madrid has notably suffered with the quality of its defense. Suffering injuries to important players, Real Madrid lost its outstanding defensive solidity from past seasons. A situation that, of course, seeks to be changed for the next season through the signing of a reinforcement.

While Real Madrid has set its sights on players like William Saliba, PSG has given an unexpected surprise. Marquinhos, who has been at PSG for more than a decade, will leave the team at the end of the season. With Luis Enrique continuing with his plan to renew the squad, Marquinhos no longer counts for the Spanish coach looking ahead to the future.

Hoping to receive at least 40 million euros, this is the amount Real Madrid will have to pay for this signing. Despite Marquinhos's age, the center-back is one of the most experienced in Europe, able to bring great things to Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's opportunity

Having been part of PSG since 2013, Marquinhos has been through the best and worst moments of the club. Keeping his loyalty for years, this twelfth season will be his last defending PSG's colors. Despite having a contract until 2028, Luis Enrique's intentions with PSG's future have been more than clear.

Due to this, Real Madrid now has a golden opportunity to strengthen its defense for the next season. Although Marquinhos is 30 years old, the center-back has shown that he can still perform for at least four more seasons.

Having kept as PSG's defensive pillar for years, Marquinhos could now take on the same role at Real Madrid. However, given the amount PSG expects to receive for Marquinhos, Real Madrid must carefully analyze this operation.

PSG's open window

Known for not letting its players go so easily, PSG's decision regarding Marquinhos has been quite a surprise. While no offers have been made for the center-back yet, PSG expects them to appear in the coming weeks before the summer.
