Marquinhos
Brazilian association football player (born 1994)
Marcos Aoás Corrêa (born 14 May 1994), better known as Marquinhos (Brazilian Portuguese: [maʁˈkĩɲus]), is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for and captains both Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain and the Brazil national team.
Marquinhos began his career at Corinthians, and after winning the 2012 Copa Libertadores he moved to Roma for an eventual fee of €3 million. He was a regular in his only season as Roma reached the Coppa Italia final. In July 2013, he moved to PSG for €31.4 million, one of the highest fees for a player under the age of 20. Marquinhos played less frequently after the acquisition of compatriot David Luiz in 2014, returning to an integral role after the latter was sold in 2016. He was part of PSG's team that reached the 2020 UEFA Champions League final. After Thiago Silva's departure in August 2020, he took up the role of captain. He captained PSG to their first UEFA Champions League titles back-to-back in 2025 and 2026, with the former being part of a continental treble. In total with PSG, Marquinhos has won a record 11 Ligue 1 titles, 14 domestic cups, and two Champions League titles. He ranks top for all-time appearances for the club, with over 500.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Marquinhos” as brazilian association football player (born 1994). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as brazilian association football player (born 1994). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q39230. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1994, 2012, 2013 and 2014.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
