HUGE blow for Marcelo: he has to make the TOUGHEST call of his career
The Brazilian is faced with a very difficult decision as the end of his career nears
"I leave here with my head held high, my family is very proud of me. I'm lucky. It's not goodbye, it's a see you later, because I don't feel like I'm leaving Madrid. If one day I come and they don't give me a ticket, they're going to have a problem. Thank you all very much. This season I understood something I didn't know, and that is that you can be a protagonist off the pitch. Maybe I've been selfish at some point, now I see that the coach has his job If not playing didn't affect me, then I would have to retire. But now I know that I can be happy even if I don't play everything," Marcelo assured when he left Real Madrid.
The Brazilian left Real Madrid as a true legend and after that, he thought that he would have plenty of offers to continue his career but it has not been like that. Marcelo only received offers from Qatari football and the MLS, which he wasn't conviced about him.
The Brazilian's objective was to continue in the elite of Europe, find a competitive club and fight for a chance in the Brazilian National Team for Qatar 2022. Throughout this time, Marcelo was linked to Milan, Olympique de Marseille, Valladolid de his friend Ronaldo Nazario, but nothing came of it.
Without any top options, retirement is a very real possibility for Marcelo
With no interesting offers in the horizon, now there are rumours that he could retire and start getting fully involved in his career as a businessman. The Brazilian knows that at Real Madrid he could have a position linked to professional football and isn't ruling out retiring to get involved in that aspect.
The Brazilian wants to avoid a return to his homecountry, where Fluminense had hoped to recover him. The truth is that in the absence of top-level proposals, Marcelo would be seriously thinking about retiring from professional football.
Marcelo became a fully fledged Real Madrid legend
Marcelo Vieira arrived to Real Madrid in January 2007 being one of the most profitable winter signings in the history of the Merengue club, and he left with 546 games played, 38 goals, 93 assists and 25 titles, the most successful Real Madrid player in history .
