An amazing career in Spain

Marcelo's career truly flourished once he moved to Spain. He became the club's most successful player, winning 25 trophies during his time with Los Blancos. Marcelo played 546 games for Madrid, scored 38 goals and provided 103 assists.

He spent 15 years at the Spanish club before signing as a free agent for Olympiacos in Greece.

A short time in Greece

Marcelo only played 10 games for the Greek side before his contract was terminated. He scored three goals for the club during those 10 games but it wasn't enough for the Greek side to consider keeping him.

The Brazilian defender had his contract terminated by Olympiakos after just five months, leading to speculation that he could be headed to Saudi Arabia, Sports Brief previously reported.

Both Olympiacos and Marcelo were happy with the decision to terminate his contract and added he had received an offer from a 'foreign team.' That foreign team is reportedly Al-Nassr.
