Minnesota United transferred defender Mikael Marques to Vasteras Sportklubb in his native Sweden on Tuesday.

Marques, 23, appeared in one MLS match with the Loons in 2023 and logged five minutes. He also played in 13 matches for their MLS NEXT Pro affiliate, MNUFC2.

"Everyone at Minnesota United thanks Mikael for the time he spent in Minnesota, both on and off the pitch," said chief soccer officer and sporting director Khaled El-Ahmad. "We wish the best of luck for Mikael as he enters this next chapter of his professional career."

Marques had been on loan at Vasteras SK since February. Terms of the transfer were not disclosed.
