Brazilian football has added a new star: after 17 years, Marcelo returns to Fluminense

Once again, Brazilian football broke the market and made the arrival of a world star footballer to strengthen its competition in international tournaments. This time it was the turn of Marcellusthe historic former Real Madrid player, who was confirmed by the fluminense from Brazil as reinforcement.

“It’s time to come back”, quoted the Brazilian institution on his social networks by formalizing the arrival of the winger. On the other hand, the 34-year-old footballer also spoke on social media showing his nostalgia for returning to the club: “Back to the place where it all began“, wrote the footballer, who this Friday signed the contract that binds him to the institute for two years.

The story with the floo It starts when he was just 13, before the legendary career he has since achieved. After the great performances achieved in the team based in Rio de Janeiro, he emigrated to Real Madrid at the age of 19 to remain in the club’s history.

The defender who was able to shine in the Brazilian national team, after 17 years, returns to the Brazilian institution with a backpack full of trophies and a glorious period with the Spanish team, where he became one of the benchmarks of the golden stage where he reached 25 titles as a protagonist (5 Champions League, 4 Club World Cup, 2 Copa del Rey, 3 European Super Cup, 6 Championships and 5 Spanish Super Cup).

Then, after that golden step, he landed in the olympiacos from Greece in mid-September last year where his passage had neither pain nor glory -although more pain than glory-. In his short five-month tenure, the defender only played 10 games where he was able to contribute three goals for the Greek team. After the frustrated passage, where he arrived as a star, he decided to terminate his contract to return to the institution where he was born.
