Marquinhos Signs For Paris St-Germain

Marquinhos

3. Marquinhos (PSG, French League)

This 18-year-old Brazilian has been quite a revelation this season at Roma. Roma scouts spotted him at an early age playing for Corinthians, and since then, he hasn’t looked back.

He made 21 appearances for AS Roma before being transferred to Paris-Saint Germain for a staggering fee of reportedly £30.1 million.

It was rumoured that Manchester United considered him as a long term successor to Rio Ferdinand.

Apart from being a good reader of the game, the PSG player is handy while his team is in possession due to impressive technique on the ball.
