[Saba Sports News] According to French media reports, Paris Saint-Germain captain Marquinhos is considering applying for French citizenship. The report states that Marquinhos, who joined PSG at just 19 years old, is preparing to take a significant and meaningful step. As he mentioned on RTL radio, after spending over a decade in France, he is contemplating applying for French nationality. Having settled in France since 2013, Marquinhos has grown and matured in Paris, building the foundation of his career. From a promising young defender to a symbolic team captain, he has become one of the club’s most enduring and respected representatives. His remarkable consistency, loyalty after playing over 500 matches for Paris, and his full integration into life in Paris make the decision to apply for citizenship almost a natural progression. This is not merely a choice but reflects his deep feelings for France, the country where he has built a family and experienced the most exciting moments of his career. His desire to apply for French citizenship also underscores the unique bond between Marquinhos and Paris, as he has served as captain in both the toughest times and the happiest moments, representing stability, resilience, and a consistently high standard year after year.”
