Marlon Santos landed this past summer in the FC Barcelona to play the next season in the filial of Gerard López, but the true is that his good performances in the two parties of pre-season 2016 that has contested until the moment with the Barça of Luis Enrique, against Celtic of Glasgow and Leicester City, have called the attention to the technical body and to all the barcelonismo.
Possibly like "prize" to this performance and although said agreement does not alter the one who has signed with the Barça, of cession by two seasons with option of compulsory purchase, the case is that the Fluminense has expanded the agreement of Marlon of 2019 to 2020.
The agreement negotiated does some weeks between the directive of the Fluminense and Marlon and has done official in the last hours, but will not affect in at all to the links of the Brazilian player to the FC Barcelona, that probably follow trusting he in the future as long as it continue linking good performances and progress like footballer of elite.
To his 20 years, the young defender is showing very good ways, technical, anticipation and serenity in spite of having confronted to the champion of the Premier League and to the of the Scottish Premier League. The option of purchase of the Barcelona is of 5 million euros, and the club can do it effective until next June of 2017.
If Thomas Vermaelen finish abandoning the staff of the first team of the FC Barcelona this summer, therefore, no descarta that Luis Enrique throw hand in determinate occasions of Marlon Santos when it fail him some important head office, since it only would have to four defenders in the staff as they are Gerard Hammered, Javier Mascherano, Samuel Umtiti and Jeremy Mathieu.
