I managed to acquire Marquinhos after the second season while playing as Reading. I did successfully gain promotion in my first season, so I had just completed my first year in the EPL.
Marquinhos only cost me 6.5mil pounds, where he scored 21 goals in 34 apps.
After the end of the season, AC Milan put in a bid of 33.5mil and my chairman automatically accepted because of the high transfer value.
So sadly, I only had him for one season, but he made a profit of nearly 25mil pounds. Not a bad profit even though I was sad to see him go.
He had a subpar year for AC in 11/12, only scoring 7 times in 22 apps, but currently in the 12/13 season he has 7 goals in 8 apps and a match rating of 8.20...
