João Marques

João Marques of SC Braga was born in Barreiro, Portugal on 13 February 2002 (age 24).

João Marques is a Portuguese left winger, born on 13 February 2002 (age 24), now with SC Braga. His current market value is around £2.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

His career to this point is shaped most clearly by Estoril. Across two league seasons there, Marques made 43 appearances and scored five goals, with 2023-24 his most productive campaign: five goals in 32 league games. That spell gave him his strongest senior footing, rather than just another line on the CV.

At Braga, his involvement so far has been three UEFA U21 appearances in 2026-27. For now, Marques profiles as a developing wide player whose clearest senior body of work remains his time at Estoril.
