Marcao returns to play 9 months later... and gets injured again
Injuries and Marcao seem to go hand in hand. The Brazilian centre-back arrived at the Seville club in 2022 and has only played 49 of 199 possible matches. He came on Monchi's recommendation, with the tough job of replacing Diego Carlos, who in just 4 seasons won over the affection and respect of all Seville fans and became the leader of the Andalusian back line. Not only has he failed to meet expectations. To date, he is one of the exits that interests Sevilla FC the most in both economic terms - he has the highest salary in the squad - and sporting terms, which seems difficult both because of his contract - through 2029 - and because of his lack - or rather, non-existent - performance on the pitch.

Marcão180.000€-
DFUp to 13 times the name of the Brazilian defender has appeared in the Sevilla medical room. This time, it is due to an injury to the rectus anterior of the right thigh quadriceps, which will keep him out for between three weeks and two months, depending on the severity of the tear. The injury occurred in the Antonio Puerta trophy played during this international break, when Aston Villa visited the Sánchez Pizjuán.
An impossible idyll
He arrived from Galatasaray with a good reputation behind him and cost no less than 13 million euros, but even the start was not good. It took him three months to get his boots on and make his debut for Sevilla. All the coaches who have passed through the Andalusian capital have trusted him upon his arrival, but both the injuries and the disconnections on the pitch in the few opportunities he has had, as well as the physical problems that have kept him away, have turned him into a regular substitute with no expectations that the situation will improve. Even Luis García Plaza has had no qualms about admitting that there are other players ahead of him. The Madrid coach's bet comes much earlier for Castrín, Kike Salas and Sangante. Along with Cardoso, he is the only one who is untested in the league.
In Fantasy terms, with no surprises
All of this has led the player to not be in the plans of the Sevilla coaching staff. His injury changes nothing. Marcao was listed as the fourth centre-back in the Andalusian side's ranks and that will remain the case. Only now, he won't even be able to be on display with a view to a future and long-awaited sale.
