Marcos Aoás Corrêa (born 14 May 1994), commonly known as Marquinhos, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for French club Paris Saint-Germain and the Brazil national team as a centre-back.

He began his career at Corinthians, and after winning the 2012 Copa Libertadores he moved to Roma for a fee rising to €3 million. Marquinhos was a regular in his only season as Roma reached the Coppa Italia Final. In July 2013 he moved to Paris Saint-Germain for €31.4 million on a five-year contract, winning the Ligue 1 and the Coupe de la Ligue double in both of his first two seasons, also winning the Coupe de France for a treble in the second campaign.

Marquinhos made his full international debut for Brazil in 2013, and was part of their Under-21 side which won the 2014 Toulon Tournament. He also represented the nation at the 2015 Copa América.

Club career

Corinthians

Marquinhos joined Corinthians at the age of eight in 2002. After winning the state junior cup, he was first included in a senior matchday squad on 29 January 2012,[3] remaining an unused substitute in their 1–0 home win over Clube Atlético Linense in the Campeonato Paulista.[4] He made his professional debut in the competition on 18 February, playing the full 90 minutes of a victory by the same score at Associação Desportiva São Caetano.[5] He made eight appearances across the season, as the Timão topped the table in the regular season but were defeated by Associação Atlética Ponte Preta in the play-offs quarter-finals.[6]

After the conclusion of the state championship, Marquinhos made his Campeonato Brasileiro Série A debut on 20 May 2012, playing the entirety of a 0–1 loss to Fluminense at the Paulo Machado de Carvalho Stadium; both teams were resting players in the first game of the season due to concentration on the Copa Libertadores.[7] He played six games in the national championship, and was an unused substitute as the club won the 2012 Copa Libertadores Finals against Boca Juniors.[8]

Roma

In July 2012 Marquinhos was signed by Roma from Corinthians. The one-year transfer was for an initial fee of €1.5 million, rising to €3 million after he made 8 first-team appearances of at least 45 minutes each.[9] At Roma, he wore the number 3 and played under the name "Marcos".[10]

He made his debut on 16 September in a 2–3 loss against Bologna at the Stadio Olimpico, sent on by manager Zdeněk Zeman to replace Iván Piris for the final 15 minutes.[11] Following impressive early season performances, Marquinhos solidified his place in the starting XI alongside former Corinthians teammate and fellow Brazilian Leandro Castán in central defence, demoting former starter Nicolás Burdisso to the substitutes' bench. He given a straight red card in a 4–2 victory over AC Milan on 22 December when he was judged to have denied Stephan El Shaarawy a clear goalscoring opportunity.[12]

Marquinhos played 26 Serie A games in his only season, as well as the full 90 minutes of the 2013 Coppa Italia Final on 26 May, playing at right back as Roma lost 0–1 to rivals Lazio.[13]

Paris Saint-Germain

2013–14 season

I am delighted to be joining Paris Saint-Germain, a club where so many Brazilians have played and helped write the club's history. I'm going to do all I can to continue that tradition, and take my turn to write some great pages of the club's history. Paris Saint-Germain is going to allow me to improve alongside some exceptional players with the hope of winning trophies and the hearts of the supporters.

— Marquinhos speaking of his transfer.[14]

On 19 July 2013, Marquinhos signed a five-year deal with French side Paris Saint-Germain for a fee of €31.4 million.[14] This was a world record fee for a teenager, equalled and then broken in the two subsequent summers by Manchester United's captures of Luke Shaw and Anthony Martial respectively.[15] His transfer was threatened by anomalies in his medical exam,[14] and he missed the team's pre-season visit to Sweden. His mother said that he had caught a virus,[16] with PSG denying claims circulated by Le Parisien that he had hepatitis.[17]

On his official debut for the club on 17 September, he scored scored his first professional goal to confirm a 4–1 win against Olympiacos at the Karaiskakis Stadium in the group stage of the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League.[18] Five days later, Marquinhos made his Ligue 1 debut as a starter in a 1–1 draw against AS Monaco. His first league goal for the club came on 28 September, the first in a 2–0 win over Toulouse.[19] On 2 October he scored the second goal in a 3–0 Champions League group victory against Benfica.[20] Marquinhos, who was playing due to injury to Thiago Silva, expressed surprise at his goalscoring form at the start of his PSG career.[21]

Marquinhos scored the last goal of PSG's 6–1 aggregate win over Bayer Leverkusen in the last 16 of the Champions League on 12 March 2014,[22] and was an unused substitute as they won the Coupe de la Ligue Final against Lyon on 19 April.[23] On 10 May, he scored the opening goal of a 3–1 win over Lille, which put by-then league champions PSG to a record league points tally of 86 with a game left to play.[24]

2014–15 season

Marquinhos began the 2014–15 season on 2 August in the Trophée des Champions, playing the whole 90 minutes as PSG won 2–0 against Guingamp at the Workers Stadium in Beijing. In the 32nd minute, he gave away a penalty by fouling Claudio Beauvue, but Salvatore Sirigu saved from Mustapha Yatabaré.[25] His first goal of the season came in a 2–0 win at Caen on 24 September, heading in Javier Pastore's corner.[26]

On 26 March 2015, he signed a one-year contract extension to keep him at the team until 2019. Club President Nasser Al-Khelaifi said that "The biggest European clubs were interested in signing Marquinhos, so this contract extension further reinforces Paris Saint-Germain’s ambitious long-term project."[27] As the left-back in an all-Brazilian defence (alongside Maxwell, Silva and David Luiz), Marquinhos featured in PSG's 3–2 win at Marseille in Le Classique, scoring the equaliser.[28] Six days later he started in the 4–0 victory over Bastia in the 2015 Coupe de la Ligue Final, his 34th consecutive game without a defeat for the club, surpassing a record set by George Weah.[29] On 16 May, PSG won their third consecutive league title with a 2–1 victory at Montpellier HSC, Marquinhos playing the final twelve minutes in place of Yohan Cabaye.[30] Two weeks later, he was an unused substitute as the team finished a perfect domestic season with victory in the Coupe de France Final against Auxerre.[31]

2015–16 season

PSG began the season with a 2–0 victory over Lyon in the 2015 Trophée des Champions, with Marquinhos an unused substitute as Serge Aurier played at right back.[32] At the end of the summer transfer window, Chelsea had two bids rejected for his signature, of amounts between £25.7–£40.4 million.[33]

Marquinhos played rarely during the season, due to the partnership of his compatriots Silva and David Luiz in the centre of the PSG defence. One of the team's former defenders, Alex, recommended that Marquinhos leave the team, as he was in demand from big teams in which he would have an opportunity to play.[34]

International career

Marquinhos played every minute of Brazil's campaign at the 2011 South American Under-17 Football Championship, as they won and qualified for that year's World Cup in the category. He was again an undisputed starter except for one match at that tournament, as the team took fourth place in Mexico.[35]

In October 2013, Marquinhos, who is of dual Portuguese and Brazilian nationality, stated that he would be open to representing the Portugal national team.[36] However, later that month, he received his first call-up for Brazil when Luiz Felipe Scolari named his squad for friendly matches against Honduras and Chile to be played that November.[37] He made his debut against Honduras in Miami on 17 November, replacing David Luiz for the last 20 minutes of a 5–0 win.[38]

Marquinhos played for Brazil Under-21 at the 2014 Toulon Tournament, featuring in all 5 of their matches as the country won the tournament. He scored to put Brazil 3–2 up in their eventual 5–2 win in the final over France.[39]

After missing the 2014 FIFA World Cup on home soil, Marquinhos returned to the senior side in September 2014 under new manager Dunga. He featured in friendly wins over Colombia and Ecuador in Miami, making his first start against the latter.[40] Marquinhos was included in the Brazilian squad for the 2015 Copa América in Chile, his first major international tournament.[41] He made his competitive debut – and only appearance in the tournament – on 21 June in their final group match at the Estadio Monumental David Arellano, replacing Robinho for the final 14 minutes of a 2–1 win over Venezuela which sent Brazil into the quarter-finals as group winners.[42]

Playing style

On signing for Roma, Marquinhos described himself as a quick player with a good sense of position who knew how to impose himself on a game. He named his new teammate Silva as his role model.[10] In March 2015, Marquinhos told FourFourTwo that despite his average height, he compensated with honing his strength and timing, attributes he learnt from PSG assistant manager Claude Makélélé.[43] He praised manager Laurent Blanc, a former defender himself, for encouraging the PSG defenders to attack in set pieces and teaching them the correct positioning in that situation.[21]

In January 2014, Marquinhos was named by British newspaper The Observer as one of the ten most promising young players in Europe. They wrote "He has the temperament to remain undaunted, the talent to succeed, and could benefit from playing alongside his club team-mate, Thiago Silva, with whom he enjoys a solid understanding at wealthy Paris Saint-Germain".[44]
