Claude Makélélé Makes Bold Admission About PSG Star and Real Madrid

In a recent interview, Makélélé spoke about wanting to see Marquinhos play for Real Madrid, considering the former midfielder was part of Carlo Ancelotti’s staff during his time in Paris.

“I have always wanted to see Marquinhos at Real Madrid,” Makélélé said (h/t Le10Sport). “I love this guy. I worked with him at PSG, with Ancelotti. His quality, his work, his passion, his patience… He has improved a lot, a lot.

“Of course, he is currently playing for the best team in the world, Paris Saint-Germain. But he’s the kind of player I would love to see in Madrid. He is very intelligent. And right now, I don’t see many defenders capable of playing one-on-one. He does. He’s the player of my dreams for Real Madrid, but I don’t think Paris will let him go.”

While it was easy for Marquinhos to leave at some point during his time at PSG, he stuck through the challenging times and was eventually rewarded with being the captain of the squad that finally won the Champions League.
