Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> defender Marquinhos is set to stay at the club. He’s been a mainstay in the starting lineup for years now and remains one of the top centre-backs in Ligue 1 and all of Europe. Work is in progress for a contract extension, according to Fabrizio Romano<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Paris Saint-Germain Defender Set to Stay at the Club<\/h2>\n

Major Importance<\/h3>\n

PSG went all in last summer to create as good of a team as possible. This included the arrivals of major stars such as Lionel Messi<\/a>, Achraf Hakimi<\/a>, Gianluigi Donnarumma<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n

Marquinhos, however, has been part of the club since 2013 after arriving from AS Roma. A team needs a leader with stability such as that that Marquinhos brings.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday I’m not thinking of leaving Paris Saint-Germain, it\u2019s not in my plans,” Marquinhos said to Canal Plus. \u201cIf it’s possible to spend my whole career here, that’s fine with me! I\u2019m happy in Paris\u201d.<\/p>\n

These are very encouraging words from the club, especially after Keylor Navas provided unclear quotes on his future<\/a>. In addition, PSG may potentially lose its brightest star<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian core is set to remain intact, however. Marquinhos aims to stay, while forward Neymar shares the same thoughts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although Marquinhos has been part of the club for nine years already, he’s still only 27-years-old. As a centre-back, he’s only entering his prime years now.<\/p>\n

PSG look to be set in defence now, not making it a concern in the transfer market this coming summer. Hakimi and Marquinhos are assured starters, as is vice-captain Presnel Kimpembe. Nuno Mendes will likely remain at left-back as well. Behind these players, PSG have plenty of depth as well. Legendary defender Sergio Ramos desires to stay at the club as well<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although PSG fell short in their Champions League goals this season, they will be set for another run next season.<\/p>\n
