The legendary defender who helped Real Madrid win five Europa League titles, Marcelo, has yet to find a new employer in the hot summer after bidding farewell to the "Galaxy". Italian media revealed that the 34-year-old Brazilian iron gate may embark on a journey to the Chinese Super League to seek new challenges.
Last season, Marcelo's position in Real Madrid has been reduced to the bench, only 18 appearances, contributed 6 assists, and ultimately failed to get a contract extension, the summer contract expired after the sad departure. Although the veteran is not young, but the competitive state is still solid, and only ask for 2.5 million euros a year, but unfortunately the top European league teams are not interested in it.
It is reported that Ma Jiao Lu is likely to choose the Asian game, Saudi Arabia and China may be the next stop of his career. The Chinese Super League (CSL) has an annual cap on foreign aid salaries of 3 million euros, which is just right for Marcelo's demands. Currently, there are a number of Chinese Super League clubs that can afford to pay this fee, including Shanghai Harbor, Shandong Taishan and Wuhan Sanzhen.
However, the Saudi clubs are much more financially powerful and could intercept Ma Some Road from it at any time and bring it into the fold.
