Considered one of the greatest legends of Paris Saint-Germain thanks to his longevity and all his titles won, Marquinhos dreams of obtaining French nationality.
Arriving at the age of 19 at the club in the French capital, Marquinhos has known everything at PSG. After training at Corinthians, the Brazilian defender only spent a few months at AS Roma before arriving in Paris, where Leonardo had recruited him for more than 30 million euros. More than ten years after his arrival, the Parisian captain is considered a true legend by supporters.
It must be said that last May, after a one-sided final against Inter Milan (5-0), he became the second French football captain to win a Champions League after Didier Deschamps. Now Marquinhos has a new goal, but not on the pitch this time. He actually wants to obtain French nationality with his wife, Carol Cabrino. More than a simple administrative process, the PSG captain wants to give back to France what it has given him for so many years.
“It would be a great pleasure to finally be a French Parisian”
“We are working for this, madam has already asked! I work for that, to ask with her too. It would be a way to symbolize everything that France and Paris have brought and given to me. For me, it would be a great pleasure to finally be a French Parisian. I lived in Brazil for 18 years, but already in France for 13 years, so it’s normal that a large part of me is Parisian. My children were born here, my wife has also lived here with me for a lot of time since my arrival. Why not continue to live in Paris. But that requires thinking about a lot of things… How many years am I going to stay here playing or after my career too? We’ll see »launched, on RTL, Marquinhos, who clearly plans to end his career at PSG and stay in Paris all his life.
