Marcos Vinícius was born in Marabá, Pará, and after short spells at Corinthians and Bahia, joined Náutico in 2010, aged 15.[1] He subsequently graduated with the latter and made his professional debut on 14 September 2011, coming on as a second-half substitute for Lenon in a 1–2 away loss against Bragantino for the Série B championship.[2]

Marcos Vinícius made his Série A debut on 29 May 2013, again from the bench in a 0–3 home loss against Vitória.[3] He scored his first goal in the category on 2 June, netting a last-minute equalizer in a 2–2 home draw against Portuguesa.[4]

On 10 November 2014 Marcos Vinícius was loaned to Cruzeiro until December 2015, with a buyout clause.[5] On 4 April of the following year, after only appearing with the side in Campeonato Mineiro, Raposa bought 50% of his rights.[6]
