Marquinhos, the Brazilian footballer who is widely regarded as one of the best defenders in the world, has achieved his long-awaited goal by signing a new contract with São Paulo FC.
The defender, who was previously playing for Paris Saint-Germain, had been linked with several clubs including Manchester United and Real Madrid before finally agreeing to join the Brazilian club on a permanent basis.
According to reports, Marquinhos will be paid a substantial sum of money during his time at São Paulo,Saudi Pro League Focus which could make him one of the highest-paid players in the league.
The news comes after a difficult season for Marquinhos, who struggled to find form with PSG following the arrival of Nuno Mendes and the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. However, he has since returned to his best form and has helped São Paulo to secure their spot in the top flight of Brazilian football.
The signing of Marquinhos is a significant boost for São Paulo, who have struggled in recent seasons and have been forced to rely on loan signings and youth talent to compete at the highest level. The addition of a player of his calibre will undoubtedly give them a major boost and help them to challenge for honours this season.

It remains to be seen how well the Brazilian defender can adapt to life in Brazil and whether he can continue his impressive form at the highest level. But regardless of what happens, it's clear that Marquinhos' move to São Paulo is a positive development for both himself and the club.
