Life Journey

Marquinhos (born Marcos Aoas Correa) was born on the 14th day of May 1994 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. His mother Alina Aoas and his father Marcos Barros Correa gave birth to him. Marquinhos grew up in Sao Paulo, which is best known as the capital of Brazilian soccer.

For decades, the sport has determined the lifestyle of the city’s residents, including Marquinhos’ mother who watched matches at Arena Corinthians even while she was pregnant with the football prodigy. Therefore, it is not surprising that Baby Marquinhos began playing football as soon as he could walk.

Marquinhos was drawn to football as a child growing up in a middle-class family with his brother Luan Aoas and sister Riama Aoas. A primary motivation was not to meet his family’s financial needs but to fulfill what he recognized early on as his life’s purpose.

Marquinhos told Le Parisien in May 2015 that he had become engaged to Carol Cabrino, a Brazilian singer and reality television contestant. She was surprised by a proposal underneath the Eiffel Tower. In 2016, they were married in a civil ceremony. In the late afternoon of 1 November 2017, Cabrino went early into labor while watching Marquinhos play a Champions League match against Anderlecht at the Parc des Princes. In December 2019, the couple welcomed their first child.

He tested positive for COVID-19 in September 2020. On 14 March 2021, Marquinhos’ parents were robbed during a match between PSG and Nantes. Angel Di Maria, his teammate, was in a similar situation, as his family was taken, hostage.

Marquinhos Net Worth

A contract was signed by the center back with Paris Saint-Germain in July 2017, netting him a salary of 13.3 million euros (11.5 million pounds) per year. After crunching the numbers, he earns €65,933 (£56,972).

  • Marquinhos played 26 games in Serie A in his only season, and four in the Coppa Italia. Roma lost 0-1 to Rome rivals, Lazio, in the final on 26 May while playing all 90 minutes at right-back.
