His love for Brazil will never change, but his attachment to France continues to grow day by day. This Sunday, Marquinhos told RTL that he wanted to obtain French nationality. Present at Paris Saint-Germain since 2013 and now captain of the capital club, the Brazilian wishes to “symbolize everything that France and Paris have brought and given to him”.
And the defender has already started the process. “We are working for this, Madame has already asked,” he assured, referring to his wife Carol Cabrino. I work for that, to ask with (her) too. » “For me, it would be a great pleasure to finally be a French Parisian,” he added.
“PSG and Paris, it’s our whole life”
With French nationality, Marquinhos could stay in France at the end of his career. Because Paris has now become his home. “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,” he said.
However, his career is far from over. At 31, the central defender, record holder for matches at PSG, still hopes to win big trophies in the capital. “Sometimes I ask him questions about what’s next… His head is in Paris and nowhere else,” Carol Cabrino assured us on the occasion of her 500th match. He feels so good at PSG. We started our family in Paris. We built everything here. When I speak with someone, I feel truly Parisian. Our fourth child is coming. This is why Paris is special to us. PSG and Paris are our whole lives. »
