Marquinhos signs new PSG deal until 2024

Paris Saint-Germain have handed defender Marquinhos a new four-and-a-half-year contract.

The Brazil international has committed to the French champions until 2024, a two-year extension to his current deal.

Marquinhos is the club’s vice-captain behind compatriot and fellow centre-back Thiago Silva.

He joined the club from Roma in July 2013 and has helped PSG to five Ligue 1 titles over that span.

The club confirmed the extension on Monday, calling him “one of the most successful players in the history of Paris Saint-Germain”.

Marquinhos said: “Paris and PSG have every argument for me to stay here and extend my contract.

“It’s an ambitious club that still wants to do great things, making football and club history.

“Then there’s the city side, the family side. My family is really very, very good here.
