Marquinhos: PSG never gave me chance to speak with Chelsea

PSG captain Marquinhos says he was never given the chance to consider a summer move to Chelsea.

It's been revealed Chelsea made a £100m offer for Marquinhos last summer.

He told Le Parisian: "If I hesitated? No! It wasn't even a proposal. The club also immediately blocked the discussion. It shows the confidence they have in me.

"It is such an honour that a club like PSG has such confidence in me. The fact that others are interested in me shows above all that I am doing a good job. It gives me the motivation to continue, to boost my training and to be even more efficient.

"I only think of Paris and PSG."
