Fluminense in 2007, has committed his future to
los Blancos for the next five seasons
Real Madrid have announced that defender Marcelo
has signed a new contract binding him to the
Santiago Bernabeu until 2020.
The Brazil international still had three years to run
on his previous deal with los Blancos but has now
decided to extend his stay in the Spanish capital
for an additional two seasons.
Marcelo joined Madrid from Fluminense in January
2007 and has long since established himself as the
club's first-choice left-back.
The 27-year-old has won three Liga titles during
his time at the Bernabeu, while he also played a
key role in the 2014 Champions League triumph,
scoring a goal in the final against Atletico Madrid.
Marcelo, who missed Brazil's Copa America
campaign with a back injury, becomes the second
Madrid defender to commit his future to the club
this week, with fellow full-back Dani Carvajal also
having signed on until 2020 on Wednesday.
Former Madrid defender David Mateos has told
Goal that Marcelo represents an ideal candidate to
become a team captain should Iker Casillas and
Sergio Ramos depart this summer.
