Barcelona are ready to offer €43m to Paris Saint-Germain for the signature of young Brazilian defender Marquinhos.

Despite the Brazilian himself stating earlier this summer that he expects to stay at PSG, he has been consistently linked with a move to Barcelona.




"I have a contract with PSG and my future will be decided by the club but lately everything seems to suggest that I will stay here”, the 20-year-old said.

Barcelona signed left-back Jeremy Mathieu from Valencia earlier this month, but are keen to add one more defender and Marquinhos remains a target for the club.
 


The Catalan giants are prepared to offer €43m to PSG for the services of the young defender, according to Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte.

The Brazilian joined the French champions last summer from Roma and still has four years left on his contract.

PSG are not willing to sell the defender after only one season at the club but a big offer for the former Roma man might be too hard to resist.
