Unless there is an unexpected turn of events in the summer, Marcelo Vieira will remain at Real Madrid next season, the last of his contract with the club, which expires in June 2022.

The player, worried about the rumors that he was sure to leave the club in the context of the renewal of the squad that is intended to be carried out in this market. Contacted the white leaders, with whom he has a close relationship during his three decades as a Madrid player, and they reassured him on the matter.

The opinion of Carlo Ancelotti also influenced the decision, the coach under whom he reached his highest number of appearances as a Madrid player: 53 in the 14-15 season.

The situation has changed for Marcelo, who has lost the status of undisputed left-back in the Madrid first team.

Ferland Mendy is closing the door on him, and from behind him comes even Miguel Gutiérrez, who is pushing hard as the club’s firm project for the first team.

In any case, the club’s gratitude towards Marcelo, a key player in the imperial cycle of four Champions League titles in five years. Is high, which together with his status as second captain (and perhaps first if Sergio Ramos’ departure is confirmed). Inclines the club to respect the player’s wish.

Which is none other than to end a period at Madrid that began in November 2006, when Pedja Mijatovic closed his signing from Fluminense as “Roberto Carlos’ successor.”

Fifteen years later, the pupil has surpassed the master even in games played with Real Madrid (528) and is one title behind Paco Gento (and Ramos) in the race to become the most decorated player in the history of the white club.

As of today, a possibility remains open after the club reassured Marcelo about a future that, despite the turbulence of the last three seasons, continues to look white for the player from Rio de Janeiro.
