Marcelo spoke of speculation that he could join Jorge Jesus at Fenerbahce, as well as completely putting aside the possibility of retiring.
Marcelo officially bid farewell to Real Madrid this Monday, the 13th, at an official event held at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, together with the president Florentino Pérez. The player also gave his last press conference for the merengue club and took pictures alongside the 25 trophies he won for the team, opening the game about his future.
“Today is the happiest day since I arrived at Real. Because I’m leaving and I realize that I left a legacy. My teammates don’t see me as Marcelo, who has been a little while, but as a great person. I don’t think much about the future… It’s hard to say goodbye. Wearing this shirt is the most beautiful thing. The future doesn’t scare me because history is already written”, said at the press conference.

As in his last match for Real Madrid, Marcelo was very emotional throughout the ceremony. When he went to make his speech, he could not hold back the tears, which were ready to fall, and making his thanks to the employees, family members, comrades and former comrades, he cried during the press conference.
The player did not hide that his true desire was to stay at Real Madrid for at least one more season and even make his retirement from football official wearing the merengue shirt. Despite not having left as he imagined, he assured that he leaves the Spanish club without regrets for not being able to renew his contract.
“There’s no problem leaving Real Madrid, life doesn’t end here. I’m not leaving, going ‘Damn, I wanted another year.’ everyone. I didn’t want to go on for another year or two out of pity”, told the player in one of the excerpts of the press conference.

Where you go?
Since the chance of him leaving the merengue club became known, speculation in the Mercado da Bola involving the veteran has not stopped spinning. One of the main rumors that happened in the meantime is about a possible move by the athlete to the Fenerbahcefrom Turkey, team led by Jorge Jesus.
However, for those who thought that the press conference would also serve to find out what the ace will do with his career from now on, Marcelo did not leave room for more assumptions about his life in the sport to be created, limiting himself to summing everything up in a single sentence: “When I have something, if I have something, I will tell you”, said.
