The 23-year-old was being heavily monitored by the Premier League giants and Jose Mourinho's side launched a £62million bid to capture his signature this summer. 

But mega-rich PSG rejected the bid and Marquinhos' new contract has effectively ended their chase in the talent.

Barcelona and Juventus were also linked for the Brazil international but the player has proved his commitment to the Ligue 1 side.

Speaking to the club's official website, he said: "I have always said I'm happy to play for Paris Saint-Germain, and this contract extension is further proof of my commitment to the club.

"I feel very good at this club and with this group of players whom I am with every day.

“I have found here the perfect place to flourish and hope to win many more trophies.

“Over the last four years, I have been able to gauge the progress made at Paris Saint-Germain, which has notably enabled me to get into the national team.
