Márkó Futács (pronounced [ˈmaːrkoː ˈfutaːt͡ʃ]; born 22 February 1990) is a Hungarian footballer who is playing as a striker for Croatian Football Club Hajduk Split.
Futács started his youth career at III. Kerületi TUE from Óbuda in his hometown Budapest. He soon transferred to second-tier club Ferencvárosi TC from the IXth district of Budapest. In the summer of 2006, he went to France, signing for AS Nancy. Futács quickly ascended up the ranks, scoring 18 goals in 21 matches with the under-18 team. In the 2007–08 season, Futács was already part of AS Nancy B, the club's second team.
In early 2009, Futács signed a professional contract at SV Werder Bremen II until June 2011. About the transfer, manager Klaus Allofs said: "Marko is a young player with perspective who we have observed for some time now. The opportunity was good to bring him to us so we decided to take the step. We hope that he can continue to develop with us." He made his Werder Bremen first-team debut on 20 July 2009 in a pre-season 2–1 win over VfL Wolfsburg, replacing Marcelo Moreno Martins in the 60th minute. Futács scored two goals in four friendly matches with Bremen in the summer of 2009.
On 26 August 2011, Futács signed a one-year deal for Portsmouth, with an option for a further year. After he joined Portsmouth he said, "Portsmouth is a great club with big names such as Kanu". He made his league debut as a late substitute in the 4–3 defeat away to West Ham United F.C. in September 2011. He scored his first goal in October 2011, in a 2–0 friendly win against Russian Premier League side FC Rostov.
