Marlon Santos's contract will expire in six months. The decision regarding a contract extension will be made by Darijo Srna and Serhiy Palkin, and it also depends on the player's desire.

It was reported at the end of last year that Shakhtar decided to extend the contract for their 30-year-old Brazilian defender, Marlon Santos, and began discussing terms with the player. There has been no official information on the matter since then. His current contract is set to expire on 30/06/2026. In the current 25/26 season, Marlon has made 7 appearances in the Premier Liga and provided 2 assists. The two-time Brazil U23 international has recently been linked with Corinthians and Panathinaikos, and his current market value is €3.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
