Sevilla attempted to transfer Marcao in the winter market, but the attempts were unsuccessful. Despite being one of the highest-paid players in the squad, Marcao refused to return to his country unless offered a higher salary. He faced problems during his medical examination upon signing as a replacement for Diego Carlos. Sevilla's efforts to place him on the transfer market have been negative.

Marcao received offers from Brazil but has not accepted any. His potential transfer could help Sevilla financially.

Marcao has received offers from several clubs, including Gremio, but he is not considering returning to his home country. Despite these offers, Marcao is determined to stay at Sevilla FC. The club's management, led by Víctor Orta, has made it clear that they are open to listening to offers for Marcao, but the player intends to continue with the team.

Gremio de Porto Alegre is negotiating with Sevilla to sign defender Marcão on a one-year loan with a purchase option, as reported by César Luis Merlo. The 28-year-old, who has played only 684 minutes this season, could return to Brazil, where he began his career. Gremio aims to boost its defense, while Sevilla might streamline its squad. Both clubs are optimistic about the potential transfer.
