Mário Rui Silva Duarte (born 27 May 1991), known as Mário Rui, is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Italian club A.S. Roma on loan from Empoli F.C. as a left back.

Club career

Born in Sines, Setúbal District, Mário Rui started his career at local Vasco da Gama Atlético Clube. He then played for the youth teams of Sporting Clube de Portugal, Valencia CF and S.L. Benfica, being signed by Parma F.C. in the 2011 summer[1] and being loaned immediately to fellow Italians A.S. Gubbio 1910;[2][3] he joined the Serie B club following that year's FIFA U-20 World Cup,[4] with the international transfer certificate arriving on 2 September.[5]

In June 2012, Parma signed Mário Rui for 595,000 on a five-year contract (paid to Gubbio), effectively on 1 July.[6] Also that month he joined Spezia Calcio on a temporary deal,[7] for free.[6]

On 28 June 2013, Mário Rui moved to Empoli F.C. for €550,000.[6][8] He contributed with 26 games in his first season, as his new team returned to Serie A after a six-year absence.

In June 2014, Parma gave up the remaining 50% rights of Mário Rui to Empoli.[9] He first appeared in the Italian top flight on 31 August, coming on as a 66th-minute substitute for Elseid Hysaj in a 0–2 away loss against Udinese Calcio.[10]

International career

Mário Rui earned 51 caps for Portugal, all youth levels comprised. During the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup he appeared in five out of seven matches for the eventual finalists,[11] scoring his only goal for his country in a 1–0 group stage win over New Zealand.[12]

Mário Rui's debut with the under-21 team arrived on 5 September 2011, when he played the entirety of a 1–0 friendly defeat of France.[13]
