Gubbio 1910;[5][6] he joined the Serie B club following that year's FIFA U-20 World Cup,[7] with the international transfer certificate arriving on 2 September.[8]

In June 2012, Parma signed Mário Rui for €595,000 on a five-year contract (paid to Gubbio), effectively on 1 July.[9] Also that month, he joined Spezia Calcio on a temporary deal for free.[10][9]

On 28 June 2013, Mário Rui moved to Empoli F.C. for €550,000.[9][11] He contributed with 26 matches in his first season, as his new team returned to Serie A after a six-year absence.

In June 2014, Parma gave up the remaining 50% rights of Mário Rui to Empoli.[12] He first appeared in the Italian top flight on 31 August, coming on as a 66th-minute substitute for Elseid Hysaj in a 0–2 away loss against Udinese Calcio.[13]

Roma

On 8 July 2016, Mário Rui was signed by A.S.

On 13 July 2017, Mário Rui joined S.S.C. Napoli on an initial €3.75 million loan. Depending on the achievement of certain sporting targets, the club would have an obligation to buy him outright for a further €5.5 million.[18] He scored his first goal in the Italian top division the following 10 February, helping the hosts defeat S.S. Lazio 4–1.[19]
