Club career
Sporting CP
Born in Carcavelos, Cascais, Marques spent much of his childhood at local G.D. Estoril Praia and C.F. Os Belenenses before joining Sporting CP in 2016. On 14 August that year, he made his professional debut with the latter's reserves against S.C. Covilhã, coming on as a 65th-minute substitute for Ricardo Almeida in the 2–1 LigaPro away win. He scored his first goal six days later, in a 2–4 home loss to AD Fafe. He netted twice more over the season, both in a 2–2 draw with Gil Vicente F.C. on 17 September.
Marques made his first-team debut on 13 December 2018 in the last game of the UEFA Europa League group stage at home against Ukraine's FC Vorskla Poltava, playing the last half-hour in place of Fredy Montero. The following 29 March, he was called up for the Primeira Liga match away to G.D. Chaves the next day.
Marques was loaned out on 15 July 2019 to FC Dordrecht of the Dutch Eerste Divisie. The following 22 January, he went to FC Den Bosch in the same league on the same basis. With 14 goals over the course of the campaign before its annulment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he was fifth among its goalscorers; this included a hat-trick on 21 February 2020, albeit in a 6–4 defeat at Excelsior Rotterdam.
