Beloved by the fans

Marinho had been expressing his desire to return to the Bahia club since leaving Fortaleza at the end of the 2025 season. Weeks ago, the player appeared at a party alongside Renato Kayzer, the Rubro-Negro's striker, reigniting the fans' clamor for his signing. Last Sunday, Marinho went to Barradão and watched the Ba-Vi among the Lion's supporters.

Career

In 2016, Marinho stood out in Brazilian football by having a fantastic season with Vitória, on loan from Cruzeiro, and helping the club avoid relegation. For Leão da Barra, he played 43 matches, scored 21 goals, and provided six assists.

The player, who turned professional at Fluminense, went on to play in Chinese football after leaving Vitória, before returning to Brazil to stand out once again. At Santos, the forward played for three seasons and reached the peak of his career when he was named King of America in the 2020 season, the year he was the Libertadores runner-up against Palmeiras. In 2022, he was sold to Flamengo, where he won the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil that year.

Marinho was at Fortaleza since 2023, and in 2025 he was relegated with the club to the second division of the Brazilian Championship.
