Shift Toward Youth and Change
PSG’s recent actions — slow renewal talks with Dembélé, selling key players like Donnarumma — show a new, pragmatic direction. The club no longer builds around aging stars, even if they’re icons. Marquinhos, at 31, has given 12 years of loyal service, but the Paris project now looks toward players still rising. As many 12BET Malaysia bettors note, football is becoming more about momentum than loyalty.

New Defenders Same Old Dependence
Since Thiago Silva’s exit, PSG have tried countless center-back combinations. From Skriniar to Lucas Hernández, none clicked until Ecuadorian talent Willian Pacho arrived. Even then, when Marquinhos got injured, replacements like Zabarnyi failed to match his leadership and defensive intelligence. PSG’s defense once again leaned heavily on their captain’s stability.

Marquinhos Still Irreplaceable
Despite media speculation, Marquinhos remains a locker-room pillar. He’s evolved into a more open, mature leader, balancing empathy with authority. When asked about teammates leaving, he responded with grace and gratitude — the mark of a true captain. It’s no wonder that under Luis Enrique’s democratic vote, he was re-elected unanimously.
