Real Madrid Confidencial Marcelo Announces His Retirement and Reveals His Future With a Message to Real Madrid
Brazilian's announcement about his next step after hanging up his cleats
This Thursday we learned the news that Marcelo has made the decision to retire from professional soccer. The Brazilian full-back will hang up his cleats after a career full of successes. He was without a team and at 36 years old, he decides to say farewell, although he has also issued a warning.
He played his last match on October 26, 2024, with Fluminense and faced EC Vitória. That was the last time we saw Marcelo on a soccer field. Now another stage opens for him, in which it seems he won't be far from soccer.
In the video with which he announced his retirement, he reflects on his time at Real Madrid. In fact, he claims that he is "one more Madrilenian" and "here I've formed a family", something that makes a lot of sense. He has assured that "my story as a player ends here but I still have a lot to contribute to soccer".
These words are said with a double meaning, as he was saying them while images of his son were shown. He continues in the youth categories of Real Madrid and is one of the most promising academy players. Additionally, he intends to remain connected to soccer, we'll see in what capacity.
A legend who has boasted of his Madridism even in his farewell
Marcelo's farewell is the farewell of a legend who made history with Real Madrid. In his farewell, he didn't hesitate to boast of his Madridism, as an essential part of his career. He even took the opportunity to record this video at Santiago Bernabéu.
That's why it wouldn't be surprising if, in addition to closely following his son's career, he returns to the white club. He could follow in Roberto Carlos's footsteps and become an ambassador for the merengue entity. But it seems he will continue to demonstrate his Madridism despite his retirement.
It's something that seemed evident but his words confirm it since he intends to continue. Perhaps we won't see him in shorts anymore, but he will be a regular at Real Madrid. After all, we are talking about a legend who even wore the captain's armband.
