Udinese complete Marquinho signing

Udinese have completed the signing of Brazilian midfielder Marquinho from Roma.

The 29-year-old has penned a four-year deal with the Bianconeri for an undisclosed fee.

He initially joined Roma on loan from Fluminense in January 2012, and impressed enough to make the move permanent in the summer.

However, he struggled to hold down a regular starting spot and was sent out on loan to Hellas Verona in January 2014.

Marquinho spent last season at Al-Ittihad and scored eight goals in 14 games for the Saudi Premier League club.
