Brazilian ace hopes to clear up doubt surrounding his future.
The agent of Roma defender Marquinhos is expected to hold talks with the club on Wednesday amid speculation linking his client with a move to either Manchester United or Barcelona.
The 19-year-old has caught the attention of several top clubs around Europe after his form last season, his first campaign in Serie A since moving from Corinthians last August.
After appearing in 26 league games, it is understood that his valuation his soared since his departure from Brazil, having joined Roma for €5m reports suggest a bid in the region of €35m will be made by the French champions.
PSG completed the €64m signing of Edinson Cavani on Tuesday, but it appears as though their spending knows no bounds as they continue their pursuit of the promising youngster.
United have also entered the race to sign him, although it is unclear at this stage as to whether David Moyes is capable of financially competing with PSG while Barcelona have also been credited with making an offer.
Marquinhos’ agent Roberto Calenda arrived at the Giallorossi’s pre-season training retreat on Wednesday, and was expected to hold talks with CEO Italo Zanzi.
Initial speculation as reported by football-italia.net suggests that the club may look to cash in on the youngster, but no official statement has been made on the situation.
Coach Rudi Garcia recently secured the services of Croatian defender Tin Jedvaj which further ignited rumours that Marquinhos was set for the exit door, while the capital club have also completed the signing of Dutch midfielder Kevin Strootman.
