Nantes have agreed a package that will see them pay around half of Marquinhos' salary for the duration of the loan period, which is believed to be around £35,000. The Brazilian youngster had a largely unsuccessful spell with Norwich City, where he scored one goal in 11 league games, and it is hoped that another season away will help build on his progress since arriving at the Emirates from Sao Paulo in 2022.
