The clubs have agreed a package of an upfront €10m fee plus an additional €2m in add-ons for the 19-year-old, who is expected to have no issues in agreeing personal terms with the Portuguese club.
Marques made his first-team debut last season, coming on as a late substitute in the game at home to Mallorca in La Liga in February. He went on to make one further appearance from the bench in La Liga.

The Athletic reported on Saturday Forest were finalising the sale of Awoniyi, 29, to Coventry, and the newly-promoted Premier League club confirmed his arrival on Monday.

Arsenal would like to augment their attack.
Their focus has been on the left wing, but there is some flexibility around this should the right forward become available.
The club have long-term targets such as Kenan Yildiz and Julian Alvarez, and are waiting to see if the market renders one available.

West Ham United have rejected a loan offer from Aston Villa for full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Villa made an approach of a straight loan but this was dismissed by West Ham.
Villa had been exploring a deal for Wan-Bissaka in recent weeks, with manager Unai Emery keen to strengthen at right-back and provide competition for Matty Cash.
