During his stint with Sao Paulo, he made 33 first-team appearances and was a member of the club that won the Campeonato Paulista in 2021.
Marquinhos will fly to London from Brazil in the coming weeks to begin pre-season training with his new colleagues.
“We’re thrilled to have finalized the trade with Sao Paulo, as Marquinhos was a player we had been monitoring for a while,” Edu, Technical Director, said. He is still a young player at 19, therefore he is a guy to watch in the future. We are excited for Marquinhos to join us for pre-season, find his new home, and continue to develop and evolve with us.”
