Career

Marquinho started his career at Gaúcho, playing for other Rio Grande do Sul-based youth clubs until he was transferred to Vasco da Gama and later to Palmeiras. During his time at Palmeiras, he was promoted to the first team in 2007 after his manager threatened not to renew Marquinho's contract since he acted only in Palmeiras B without first team opportunities.

His first game in the first team was on January 18, 2007 in a 4–2 win at Campeonato Paulista. He also played at Brasileirão against Goiás in August 2007 before moving to Botafogo. In 2008, after being discharged from the Rio de Janeiro club, he was signed by Figueirense, being a member of the starting eleven and moving to Fluminense the following year. At the end of 2009, after a long battle against relegation, Marquinho scored in the 1-1 away draw against Coritiba in the last league match, a result that kept Fluminense at Série A and relegated Coritiba to Série B. In 2010, he was part of the team that led Fluminense to win the national title after 26 years.
