Marco Gabriel de Oliveira Santos (born 16 November 2000), simply known as Marco, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as either a central defender or a left back for Volta Redonda, on loan from Portuguesa.

Club career

Born in São Paulo, Marco joined Portuguesa's youth setup in 2019, after representing Osasco FC and São José-SP. He made his senior debut for the side on 25 November 2020, coming on as a second-half substitute for Maikinho in a 2–0 home win over Guarani, for the year's Copa Paulista.[1]

Marco was promoted to the main squad for the 2021 season, and made his first appearance as a starter on 5 July 2021, providing an assist for Caíque's opener in a 2–0 Série D home win over São Bento; he was later praised by manager Fernando Marchiori.[2] He was a backup option during the 2022 Campeonato Paulista Série A2, as his side achieved promotion as champions.

Marco scored his first senior goal on 10 September 2022, netting the winner in a 1–0 home success over Desportivo Brasil.[3] On 26 December, he was loaned to Série C side Volta Redonda until the end of 2023;[4] he also renewed his contract with Lusa until 2024.[5]

On 30 November 2023, Marco's loan with Voltaço was renewed for a further year.[6]
