Marquinhos said he will "100 per cent" remain a
Paris Saint-Germain player next season, while
team-mate Marco Verratti reiterated his
commitment to the Ligue 1 giants.
PSG defender Marquinhos, 23, has reportedly
emerged as a target for Barcelona and Manchester
United.
However, the Brazil international declared he is
staying put following PSG's 5-0 rout of Saint-
Etienne on Sunday.
"My future? I will be here next season to win back
the title," Marquinhos told Canal+.
"I will 100 per cent be Parisien."
Of the match, Marquinhos said: "We were really
motivated and the atmosphere was fantastic. It
was very important to score the first goal at the
start of the game.
"After a quarter of an hour, Saint-Etienne got back
into it a bit but we were solid defensively and Kevin
[Trapp] was important behind us. We were able to
make the most of our chances and that is what
made the difference. Even at 2-0, we showed a real
hunger to play and score.
"I am happy for Lucas [Moura] with his double
tonight. He was instrumental in attack."
In another boost as Monaco moved within a point
of dethroning PSG and claiming the Ligue 1 title,
Verratti also expressed his happiness in the French
capital.
Verratti's future in Paris has been a hot topic
throughout the season, despite his contract not
expiring until 2021.
Asked if he will be at PSG next season, Verratti
responded: "Yes. I'm under contract in Paris and I
like it here."
