Marlos

Marlos was born in São José dos Pinhais. In July 2014, he signed a five-year contract with Shakhtar Donetsk. In 2016–17, Marlos was recognized as a player of the month of the Ukrainian Premier League on three occasions (November 2016, May 2017, and July 2017) becoming the most-titled by the award. On 20 October 2017, there surfaced information that Marlos was paid one million dollars, which was said to be a bonus for extending his contract (four years). Supposedly, this was done to solve the problem regarding the limit of foreign players allowed on the Shakhtar squad. The same day, Shakhtar Donetsk issued its official press release denying the pay out. In the 2017–18 Ukrainian Premier League, he scored 18 league goals only to yield the top scorer of the season title to his teammate Facundo Ferreyra with 21 tallies. On 31 December 2021, Marlos left Shakhtar Donetsk following the expiration of his contract. On 1 February 2022, Marlos signed for Athletico Paranaense.

On 30 September 2017, FFU announced that Marlos was called up to play for Ukraine in the upcoming games of the World Cup qualification against Kosovo and Croatia. Marlos made his debut for Ukraine on 6 October 2017, replacing Artem Kravets in the second half of a 2–0 away win against Kosovo in Shkodër (Albania) as part of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification. He is the second Brazilian-born to play for Ukraine after Edmar Halovskyi who represented Ukraine in 2011–2014.

In October 2024, Marlos became general director of the Brazilian club Independente Futebol São Joseense.
