According to his intermediary, there has been a number of offers for consideration for the seasoned defender. However, weighing the options available the Lazio move will appeal to his client.

“We are waiting for the club to call us and start the negotiations. He has another two offers, but they are from a league that is not at the same level as Serie A."
“The only certainty we have is that his vacation will end in 10 days and by the end of July he will have made a decision.”

Marcelo will be a welcome addition to Maurizio Sarri's Lazio side, who have qualified for the Europa League, owing to his rich experience in European competitions.
