Should Chelsea have bought him?

Chelsea reportedly outbid Manchester United and Barcelona for PSG’s Marquinhos last summer.

The star was often linked with a move away from the French capital this summer, and had several clubs after his services.

However, PSG were reluctant to part with the 22-year-old and he stayed at the Parc des Princes, where he is currently under contract until 2019.

It’s thought that Chelsea bid a huge £52million for him.

However, his agent, Giuliano Bertolucci, has confirmed the French club never had any intentions of selling the defender.

“The president of PSG never wanted to negotiate a transfer, neither with Barca nor with anyone,” he told Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo.

“Last summer there was a €60million (£52m) proposal for Marquinhos and he rejected it.”
