Marlos Romero Bonfim (Ukrainian: Марлос Ромеро Бонфим; born 7 June 1988), or simply Marlos, is a Brazilian-born Ukrainian attacking midfielder or right winger who plays for Ukrainian club FC Shakhtar Donetsk. He received Ukrainian citizenship in September 2017.
Career
Marlos was born in São José dos Pinhais. In July 2014, he signed a five-year contract with Shakhtar Donetsk.[2]
In 2016–2017, Marlos was recognized as a player of the month of the Ukrainian Premier League on three occasions (November 2016,[3] May 2017,[4] and July 2017[5]) becoming the most-titled by the award.
In 2017–18 Ukrainian Premier League he scored 18 league goals only to yield the top scorer of the season title to his teammate Facundo Ferreyra with 21 tallies.
International career
On 30 September 2017 FFU announced that Marlos was called up to play for Ukraine in the upcoming games of the World Cup qualification against Kosovo and Croatia.[6] Marlos made his debut for Ukraine on 6 October 2017, replacing Artem Kravets in the second half of a 2-0 away win against Kosovo in Shkodër (Albania) as part of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification. He is the second Brazilian to play for Ukraine after Edmar Halovskyi who represented Ukraine in 2011–2014.[6]
On 20 October 2017 there surfaced information that Marlos was paid one million dollars, which was said to be a bonus for extending his contract (4 years).[7] Supposedly, this was done to solve the problem regarding the limit of foreign players allowed on the Shakhtar roster.[7] The same day, FC Shakhtar Donetsk issued its official press release denying the pay out.[8]
