Roma defender Marquinhos is holding out for a move to Barcelona, according to reports in Brazil, amid strong interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
It seemed as if Marquinhos was on the verge of a move to the French champions recently but now it is claimed the 19-year-old wants a move to Spain, reports Football Espana.
The Roma youngster was said to be ‘not very far away’ from a switch to the French champions on Saturday.
But media reports in his home country claim that the centre back is not keen on Laurent Blanc’s side and would rather wait for a transfer to Camp Nou.
PSG were reported to have had a €30m bid accepted from the Giallorossi, whilst the Blaugrana have had their €25m bid rejected.
The hierarchy at Stadio Olimpico are resigned to the fact they will lose the 19-year-old and are expecting an improved offer from Tito Vilanova’s men soon.
