Brazilian defender Marquinhos could join Manchester United this summer, claims his agent after talk of an exit from Paris Saint Germain.
The centre-back joined the French champions from Italian side Roma in 2013 for a fee of £23.2m but he has struggled to find a regular starting place, mainly down to the form of fellow Brazilian defenders – Thiago Silva and David Luiz.
Talk of a summer exit has since developed with Premier League side Man United keen to make a move, and his agent, Giuliano Bertolucci has opened up about the possibility of him leaving Paris.
“Last summer the president of PSG [Nasser Al-Khelaifi] stated that Marquinhos was unsellable; we will see what he thinks next June,” the agent told RMC.
“So many [clubs] want him, including Manchester United. What is certain is that Marquinhos wants to become the best defender in the world.
“He is still not at the level of Thiago Silva and David Luiz, so for this reason he respects the choices of the coach.
“But he doesn’t want to spend much more time on the bench. If necessary, he can play also as a full-back or a wide midfielder.”
Marquinhos has made 15 appearances in Ligue 1 for PSG this season.
