Marlos Romero Bonfim (Ukrainian: Марлос Ромеро Бонфим; born 7 June 1988), or simply Marlos, is a Brazilian-born Ukrainian attacking midfielder who plays for the 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 FC Shakhtar Donetsk.[2]

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.[3] 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.[3]

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).[4] Supposedly, this was done to solve the problem regarding the limit of foreign players allowed on the Shakhtar roster.[4] The same day, FC Shakhtar Donetsk issued its official press release denying the pay out.[5]
