Brazilian defender Marquinhos’ agent has been in contact with some of the top clubs in Europe in hopes of clinching a deal for the Paris Saint-Germain defender.

Paris United (h/t Daily Star) claims that Giuliano Bertolucci has been in contact with Manchester United regarding a move for the 24-year-old and he has also spoken to a number of other clubs if they would be interested in the central defender.

The 24-year-old was part of the World Cup squad with Brazil but only made one appearance for the side. Marquinhos joined PSG from Roma and has been a rock at the back for the Ligue 1 giants.

The report claims that Manchester United are in the market for a central defender and Marquinhos could fit the bill given that he is young and his agent is trying to muster a move away.

Jose Mourinho

However, the report also claims that the central defender is happy at PSG, so we would either need to increase his wages significantly or blow a huge amount of cash for PSG to sell the 24-year-old.

Jose Mourinho had recently stated that he could not tell if any new players would be coming into the club or not but we have only bought Fred, Diogo Dalot and Lee Grant this season.

There should be a few more additions to the side if we are looking to get our hands on the Premier League title from Manchester City.

While there are only three weeks left in the transfer window, we could still get some business done and it will be interesting to see just what we end up with before the window closes on 9th August.
