Marquinhos’ Barca move ‘frozen’

Barcelona’s move for Paris Saint-Germain defender Marquinhos is said to have stalled, with no prospect of it going through soon.

Mundo Deportivo reports that the Brazilian is currently in pre-season training with his club in Austria and was pictured in an ice bath, a fair representation of the status of his switch to Catalonia, MD say.

Barca President Josep Maria Bartomeu and sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta have both suggested that the transfer could happen later in the summer, but it’s not thought to be imminent.

MD add that Marquinhos faces falling further down the PSG pecking order next season than he was last season, as David Luiz has signed in at the French club. Marquinhos was behind Thiago Silva and Alex last season.
