Marquinhos has joined Brazilian top-flight side Fluminense on loan until January 2025.
Our 20-year-old forward has recently returned from France, where he spent the first half of the season on loan with Ligue 1 side FC Nantes.
In recent weeks, the Brazilian youth international has been in Venezuela representing his under-23 national team in the 2024 CONMEBOL pre-Olympic Tournament.
Marquinhos will be joining the reigning Copa Libertadores champions, who won the prestigious South American trophy for the first time in their history when they defeated Boca Juniors 2-1 back in November 2023.
The predominantly left-sided forward announced himself to Gunners supporters by scoring a fine goal on his debut in our 2-1 away win over FC Zurich in our opening Europa League match of the 2022/23 campaign, having arrived from Sao Paulo the previous summer. During his time with us, Marquinhos also had a spell on loan in the Championship with Norwich City last season.
Everyone at the club wishes Marquinhos all the best for his loan spell with Fluminense and look forward to seeing his continued development.
The loan deal is subject to regulatory processes.
