After playing for Grêmio and Guaratinguetá in Brazil, Marçal headed to Portugal. In 2010, he signed for Torreense in Portuguese Second Division. He made 40 appearances for the club before signing for Nacional in Primeira Liga.

On 16 June 2017, he signed for French club Olympique Lyonnais for €4.5 million after a stint with rival club Guingamp, where he made seven assists in 31 league appearances.[5]

On 6 September 2020, Marçal moved to English Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers for a fee of €2 million in a two-year deal.[6][7] Marçal made his full debut for Wolves on 14 September 2020 in a Premier League game away to Sheffield United.[8]
