The 34-year-old left-back started his senior playing career with Fluminense before signing for Madrid in 2007, with Marcelo enjoying incredible success at the club.
Marcelo lifted six La Liga titles, five Champions Leagues and two Copa del Reys during a glittering 15-year career with Los Blancos.

The Brazilian defender made his sensational exit from the Spanish capital at the end of last season and completed a free transfer move to Olympiacos last September.
Marcelo signed a one-year deal with the Super League Greece outfit, but the former Madrid star’s playing time has been limited this season.
The Olympiacos full-back has made 10 appearances and scored three times for his current side, with Marcelo playing roughly 332 minutes this season.
