Club career
Born in Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Marvin spent his early career with Sporting Ciutat de Palma (two stints), English club Tranmere Rovers, where he spent three years,[1] and back in Spain with SD La Salle and AD Penya Arrabal before joining Real Madrid's La Fábrica in 2016.[2] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 25 August 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Miguel Baeza in a 1–1 Segunda División B away draw against Las Rozas CF.[3]
Marvin scored his first senior goal on 26 October 2019, netting the opener in a 1–2 home loss against Racing de Ferrol.[4] He ended his first senior campaign with three goals in 26 appearances, as the season was curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic, while also helping the under-20s win the UEFA Youth League.[5]
Marvin made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 20 September 2020, replacing Rodrygo in a 0–0 away draw against Real Sociedad.[6]
