André Cury: “Barcelona was able to sign Marquinhos for € 3M”

The Barcelona he had in his hands the opportunity to sign one of the best center-backs of the world for one True bargain. At least that's what the businessman claims André Cury, former Barcelona manager in the South American market, in an interview with the newspaper Sport this Monday.

According to the Brazilian, that helped bring Neymar, Ronaldinho and Arthur to the Catalan club, the now captain and superstar of Paris Saint-Germain, Marquinhos, was available for only three million euros for the Blaugranas, who ruled out his signing.

“Barça was undoubtedly the best team on the planet. By far. That's why when you spoke of a player the doors were closed. However, options arose that Andoni Zubizarreta missed, such as that of Marquinhos, who was worth 3 million euros when he was at Corinthians before going to Roma, or Oscar's, for 7 million, when he played for the Porto Alegre International “, André Cury told Sport.

Marquinhos came to Rome at the age of 18, in 2012, and one year later he went to PSG for € 35M. Then, Barcelona did not make an effort to try to seize the services of the Brazilian international because it was determined to sign Thiago Silva from the same Parisian club, an attempt that ended up frustrated before Nasser Al Khelaïfi's refusal to sell the wanted was its captain and leader. .
