Born in Caracas, Marqués moved to Spain aged 13 and joined RCD Espanyol's youth setup in 2013.[1] He subsequently moved to UFB Jàbac Terrassa in the following year, before joining FC Barcelona's Juvenil squad on 14 June 2017.[2]

On 24 January 2020, Barcelona B sold Marqués to Juventus for €8.2 million, in exchange for Matheus Pereira on loan.[4] He made his first appearance for Juventus U23 on 16 February, in a 2–1 Serie C away win over Monza.[5] Marqués' first goal came on 13 July, in a 2–2 draw against Carrarese in the quarter-finals of the Serie C promotion play-offs.[6]
