5 longest-serving players in PSG's current squad

#3 Presnel Kimpembe (since July 1, 2015)

Paris Saint-Germain v Manchester City - UEFA Champions League Semi-Final: Leg One

PSG centre-back Presnel Kimpembe occupies the third spot on our list. Beginning his stint with the Parisians at the young age of 19, Kimpembe established himself as a very important element of the club.

The Frenchman has also enjoyed a successful stint with France to date. Even though former Real Madrid skipper Sergio Ramos's arrival at PSG poses a threat to Kimpembe's regular spot in Pochettino's starting XI, the club is certain about retaining the 26-year-old.

The PSG number 3 held a permanent spot as the hub of defense after the club's captain and long-term serving player Thiago Silva's departure. With age on his side, chances are high for Kimpembe to maintain his place in Pochettino's plans.

#2 Marquinhos (since July 19, 2013)

Real Madrid v Paris Saint-Germain: Group A - UEFA Champions League

Not every player would be as fortunate as Marquinhos at the moment. The Brazilian is set to captain a squad that includes the likes of Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi — former captains of Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively.

Signed with the French giants in 2013, Marquinhos has played over 323 games across all competitions in a PSG jersey. The Brazilian defender, who is playing his 9th season with PSG, is not just a crucial member of the team but also a crowd favorite.

Marquinhos has also been an important cog for his national team. He stood as a wall in Brazil's Copa America 2019 and 2016 Olympic Gold Medal triumphs. Additionally, he played a key role in Canarinha's 2021 Copa America campaign.

#1 Marco Verratti (since July 18, 2012)

Manchester United v Paris Saint-Germain: Group H - UEFA Champions League

Occupying the first position is PSG's longest-serving player within the squad — Marco Verratti. Overcoming his diminutive stature, the Italian midfielder has established himself as a fine midfielder over the course of years. He has earned plaudits for his aggressive approach and playmaking skills.

Verratti specializes in a holding midfield position. One of the legends of the game Xavi has compared Marco Verratti to himself in terms of playing style.

Having started his professional career at a very young age, the 28-year-old has enjoyed a successful run at club and country level. The 2021-22 Ligue 1 season will be Marco Verratti's 10th with PSG. He has accumulated a stunning total of 27 trophies with the Parisians.

Marco Verratti had exactly the same number of touches during the 90 minutes (127) as Kalvin Phillips, Declan Rice, Mason Mount and Jordan Henderson combined. 🤯#ITA #ENG #EURO2020 pic.twitter.com/IKSNAvqTMa
