Marquinhos Cipriano

Marcos Robson Cipriano (born 27 March 1999), simply known as Marquinhos Cipriano, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for FC Sion on loan from Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk as a forward.

Club Career

A native of Catanduva, Cipriano joined the youth academy of Desportivo Brasil at the age of 14 after an unsuccessful trial with Santos FC. While playing for Desportivo Brasil, he was scouted by Gremio, Santos, Palmeiras and Corinthians; although he wanted to play for his favourite club Sao Paulo. In September 2015, he was bought by Sao Paulo Futebol Clube for $1 million. His contract termination fee was set at $120 million. Soon after joining the club, Sao Paulo rejected a $7 million offer from Spanish club Atletico Madrid to secure his services. He emerged as the top scorer of the U-17 Campeonato Paulista of 2016 with 21 goals and was subsequently promoted to the under-20 team. On 16 January 2018, Cipriano was called to the senior team for a match against Sao Bento in the Paulista. He made his debut in the match, coming as a substitute for Junior Tavares in the 2–0 defeat.

On 10 July 2018, Cipriano moved abroad and joined Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk on a five-year deal. He previously signed a pre-season contract with the club in January 2018.
