In an interview, Makelele said that he hopes Marquinhos can join Real Madrid.
Makelele said: "I have always wanted Marquinhos to join Real Madrid. I love him. I worked with him when Ancelotti was coaching Paris. With his strength, hard work, enthusiasm and patience, he has made great progress.
He is very smart. Now I don't see many defenders who can defend one against the other, but he can do it. He is the Real Madrid player I dream of, but I don't think Paris will let him go."
