Career

Due to his unusual name, a mixture of the names of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin, he caught the public's attention even in Flamengo's youth categories.[2] He played alongside Vinícius Júnior during the period,[3] but was not used in the professional team, being traded to Akron Tolyatti in Russia.[4][5] In March 2024, he returned to Brazil to play for Amazonas FC.[6]
