After winning la Liga with the team, Marcelo's whereabouts gradually became clear. On the evening of May 1, Beijing time, the famous journalist Romano revealed that Marcelo has decided to leave Real Madrid freely after the end of this season, ending a 16-year white-clad career.
Due to Ramos's departure, Marcelo became the first captain of Real Madrid. But fans can't easily find that Marcelo sits on the bench most of the time, and the captain's armband more often belongs to Benzema.
In the 34th round of La Liga, Real Madrid only needed 1 point to win the title, coupled with the preparation for the midweek Champions League life and death battle, Ancelotti made a smooth water, let Marcelo start, he also as captain to witness the Galaxy lock the championship at home, and raise the trophy.
It was also the 24th title of Marcelo's Real Madrid career, surpassing the famous Hunter to become the player with the most titles in the history of the team. After the award ceremony, Marcelo couldn't help himself, hoping to continue to stay at Real Madrid and strive for more honors.
However, the reality is relentless, Marcelo, whose state has fallen badly, has not met Real Madrid's requirements, his contract will expire at the end of June this year, and Florentino has no intention of renewing his contract. Romano confirmed that Marcelo would leave on his own and that he had only 60 days left in his Real Madrid career.
Marcelo debuted in Baliga powerhouse Fluminense and joined Real Madrid for 6.5 million euros in January 2007, when he was a young teenager under the age of 19. Once upon a time, Marcelo was seen as a defensive black hole, put on the bench by Mourinho.
Who would have thought that Marcelo would be able to stay with Real Madrid for 16 seasons, not only becoming the number one captain, but also the first person in the number of champions in the history of the team? As the saying goes, 3 Marcelos can't defend against 1 Marcelo, and the team pet at the peak has an extremely sharp left cross, and his cooperation with C Ronaldo is indestructible.
Real Madrid can achieve such a great feat as three consecutive Champions League games, inseparable from Marcelo's contribution, at his peak he can be called the world's number one left-back, worth 70 million euros. But after C Ronaldo left, Marcelo's state has declined visibly, and his value has dropped again and again, and there are only 3 million euros left.
No one is always young, but there are always people who are young. Real Madrid have finalized Rudiger, plus Alaba, Militão, as well as the presence of youngster Miguel Gutierrez, and the presence of Nacho, there is no longer Marcelo's place in the Real Madrid defense, and it is time to get together and disperse.
Real Madrid have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, and if they can win the Big Ears Cup, then Marcelo will become another legend who has won the Champions League after Cristiano Ronaldo, which will be an incomparably happy ending. Even if Real Madrid can't get their wish, Marcelo has 24 trophies in his hands and can leave with dignity no matter what.
The only thing that is uncertain is whether Marcelo will just hang up his boots and retire as a Real Madrid player, or go elsewhere to play the residual heat and continue to enjoy the joy of football for two or three years. Marcelo reportedly has a lot of business, and Real Madrid has also reserved him a position as a publicity ambassador, and he can change his clothes to stay at the Bernabeu.
