Marcão, 28 years old, is under contract with Sevilla until the summer of 2027, but his prominence this season has been limited, accumulating only 684 minutes in 13 matches between LaLiga and the Copa del Rey. These circumstances open up the possibility for the defender to explore a new phase in his career, this time in Brazilian football, where he was developed in the youth ranks of Athletico Paranaense.
Gremio wants to sign Marcão
The center-back's journey includes his debut with Athletico's first team in 2017, before moving to European football with a transfer to Chaves in Portugal in 2018. Now, Gremio is looking to bring him back as part of their strategy to strengthen the defense and aim for higher goals in local and international competitions.
Sevilla, on the other hand, could see this operation as an opportunity to streamline their squad while analyzing their moves in the market. Gremio's interest could lead to a significant step for both parties in the coming days.
