Marcao has received offers from several clubs, including Flamengo, which attempted to repatriate him. Despite these offers, Marcao is determined to stay at Sevilla FC. The club's management, led by Víctor Orta, indicated that they are open to listening to offers for Marcao, but the player intends to continue with the team. The Brazilian center-back has had a secondary role this season, yet he has rejected all proposals from clubs in Brazil, Turkey, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. Flamengo, along with Gremio, showed interest in bringing him back to Brazil, but Marcao is not considering a return to his home country. Even though Sevilla is eager to offload him to reduce their wage bill, Marcao remains committed to staying at the club, posing a challenge to their transfer strategy.
