Biography

Marcos Aurélio was signed by Cruzeiro in 2005 for a reported R$50,000.[2] However, he struggled to play regularly due to injury and had his contract terminated in August 2005. Later that month, he joined Fluminense on a four-month deal.[3] In 2006, he moved to the Chinese Super League but unsuccessfully attempted to convert to a forward position.

Returning to Brazil in 2007, he signed a one-year contract with Portuguesa, which he renewed in January 2008, extending it until December 2010. In August 2008, he returned to São Caetano in one-year loan. He was released in April 2009 and transferred to Vitória for the rest of 2009 season. In January 2010, Brasiliense signed him definitely in a 1+12-year contract. He was released again in August and joined Bragantino for the rest of 2010 season. In January 2011, he was offered a new one-year extension. In June, he left for Itumbiara, again for the rest of 2011 season. He was released in September.

In 2012, he initially played for Audax-SP, then in February 2012 for Botafogo (SP) until end of the São Paulo state league.
