Chelsea and Manchester City join the race to sign Marquinhos

Marcos Aoas Correa, who is also known commonly as Marquinhos, had a great season of prominence since his switch from Corinthians to Roma last summer.

The 19-year old defender became a regular starter for As Roma, lighting up Serie A with some excellent displays of true potential alongside his former teammate Leonardo Castan. 

According to reports in the Daily Star, Chelsea and Manchester City have joined the likes of PSG, Barcelona and Manchester United in the race to capture the Brazilian’s signature. Marquinhos has generated a lot of interest considering he has no international cap to his name for his country Brazil. 

With the prospect of so many top European clubs vying for Marquinhos’ signature, there will be alot of expectations surrounding the Brazilian starlet and time will only tell as to whether he can justify the hype upon his next move, should he leave the Stadio Olimpico this summer.
