Forward Pedro Marques explores options to remain in Cyprus

Twenty-eight-year-old Portuguese striker Pedro Marques is currently a free agent following his departure from Apollon Limassol. The contract termination occurred after the player and the club failed to reach a financial agreement following his three-year tenure. Reports indicate that a planned transfer to Neftchi Baku did not materialize, leaving the player available in the market. As of July 3, 2026, sources suggest that Marques is open to remaining in Cyprus. He is reportedly engaged in discussions with at least one local club seeking a proven striker for their offensive line. While earlier media reports mentioned interest from two different Cypriot teams, recent updates suggest he may accept lower salary terms than those previously requested from Apollon to secure a new contract. Official announcements regarding his future are expected in the coming days.
