Paris Saint-Germain is considering the possibility of keeping Marquinhos on its roster beyond 2028, with the Parisians appearing willing to begin discussions about renewing their Brazilian captain’s contract.
The 32-year-old center back has been with the French club since the summer of 2013, when he was acquired from Roma, and has become one of the most important figures in the team’s history. After 13 years in Paris, he has been a constant presence both on the field and in the locker room, having linked his name to the club’s most successful era.

According to Le Parisien, club officials have begun exploring the possibility of extending their partnership with Marquinhos, whose current contract expires in the summer of 2028. In fact, this idea has reportedly already been conveyed to the player’s representatives, although discussions are still in the very early stages.
Despite his recent injury and the fact that he will be 34 years old when his current contract expires, the Brazilian is still considered crucial to the team’s on-field plans. His experience, leadership, and partnership with Willian Pacho in the center of the defense are key elements of the stability Paris has shown in European competitions.
After all, this duo has played a significant role in the Parisians’ successes in the Champions League, with the club having won two consecutive titles and maintaining high aspirations for this season as well.
Another factor influencing the management’s thinking is the case of Ilya Zabarny. The Ukrainian defender was signed with the expectation that he would gradually become Marquinhos’ successor; however, he has not yet managed to establish himself as a starter, as his performance has been inconsistent.
