As always, the future of Marquinhos is a big deal to Le Parisien, who would be slightly annoyed at losing one of their local team’s most promising players, but the amount of game time the Brazilian is receiving at Paris Saint-Germain is really becoming an issue.

Blocked by the duo of compatriots Thiago Silva and David Luiz, the youngster managed to get some time on the pitch at right-back thanks to Serge Aurier’s periscope stint, but even then, Van der Wiel was preferred at times.

Starting only 13 league games over the course of the season, the 21-year-old really needs regular first-team football if he is to develop into the player most expect him to become, and a move away seems the best option for him.

Vocally acknowledging the fact he might need to hold discussions with the French club at the end of the season, many European sides are keeping an eye out on how the situation might unfold.

Le Parisien on Friday state both Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid could be tempted to make an offer, while in the Premier League, Manchester United have made him one of their ‘priorities’ for the summer transfer window.

If the European press are to be believed, Louis van Gaal has been after the Brazilian since his arrival at the Premier League club, and this summer could be the one where he gets him.

Manchester United’s problems at centre-back seem never-ending, with the Dutch manager having to shoehorn Daley Blind into the position for the majority of the season, mostly due to Phil Jones’ and Marcos Rojo’s inability to stay fit for more than 10 games at a time.
