Marquinhos has moved to Brazilian Serie A side Cruzeiro in a permanent transfer.
The 22-year-old joined us from Sao Paulo in June 2022 and made six appearances in all competitions. He scored an impressive first goal for us on his competitive debut in our 2-1 away win against FC Zurich in the UEFA Europa League group stage in September of the same year.
Marquinhos progressed through Sao Paulo's academy and graduated to the first team, making his debut as an 18-year-old. He made 33 first-team appearances during his time with Sao Paulo and was a part of the squad which won the Compeonato Paulista in 2021.
