This FM 2014 player profile of Marlon shows a talented but cheap central defender, you can get him for a rather low fee at the age of 17. The bad news for those who manage in England is that he won’t get a work permit right away but might get one later on as he would probably feature in the Brazilian U20 national team.
In my test save he was bought by AS Monaco right away, sent on loan here and there, then sold to Sao Paulo before being bought back by Monaco. He made remarkable progress and that pushed him right into the Brazilian senior national team, quite an achievement for any player. His physique is very good, solid speed and strength, good mental attributes and solid defending skills as well. Worth a go for 3 million but you need patience to develop him.
