João Marques

João Marques made 13 Liga Portugal appearances for Casa Pia in 2025-26, with six starts and seven outings from the bench. One goal and two yellow cards point to a rotational left-wing role rather than a decisive attacking season, though the balance of starts and substitute appearances suggests he remained close to the selection picture.

Marques' route has taken him from Estoril to SC Braga, then out on loans to Gil Vicente and Casa Pia. The standout production in the supplied record was five goals in 2023-24, but his 2025-26 return was more restrained, suggesting a player still trying to convert promise into a settled senior role.

The transfer trail is more revealing than the output: Braga paid €3.00m to sign Marques from Estoril in July 2024, then loaned him to Gil Vicente six months later and to Casa Pia in January 2026 after his return. That pattern suggests a move up in ownership level, followed by loans aimed at securing top-flight minutes rather than a fixed place at Braga.
