Italian clubs Inter Milan and Juventus have expressed interest in signing Real Madrid's Brazilian defender Marcelo. AS reports that both clubs have been in contact with Marcelo over the contract, but are unable to afford the player's high salary.
According to AS reports, Italian clubs who came forward to acquire the 33-year-old Marcelo in May this year have been in talks with his representatives about the possibility of bringing the player to Serie A.
At the same time, this time Ferland Mendy and Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane are expected to play their left-back main position. Although Marcelo is Zidane's favorite player, the difference in age and physical condition puts Frenchman Mendy a little ahead this time around.
Unlike in previous years, Marcelo is reportedly ready to listen to offers from other clubs, as he is not guaranteed a place in Real's XI this season.
But experts say Marcelo's transfer will be difficult in this summer's transfer window.
The reason behind this is that other clubs do not currently have the financial means to afford this high - paid 33 - year - old, so Marcelo will remain at Real Madrid next season. This is something that the fans of the club also want a lot.
