Reports: A Zinedine Zidane Favourite Asks To Leave

Reports: A Zinedine Zidane Favourite Asks To Leave

After Real Madrid spent more than €300 million in the transfer market already, Los Blancos are now focusing on sales, and one of Zinedine Zidane's favourite players has reportedly asked to leave the club.

Spanish publication Sport has claimed that left-back Marcelo, who dropped down the pecking order under Santiago Solari last season, has asked the club to let him go.

He regained his place in the starting XI after Zidane's return in March, and the Frenchman is said to be counting on him for the next campaign, but Marcelo reportedly feels it is now the right time to leave the club.

He apparently want to sign a long-term deal with a new club with the intention ending his career there, and Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, Juventus and AC Milan are believed to be interested in his services.

The Brazilian was heavily criticised for his form last season, with some reports suggesting he was overweight, and even lost his place in the starting XI to Sergio Reguilon. The latest images from his holiday, though, show that the 31-year-old in superb shape ahead of 2019/20.

However, Sport claim that Marcelo does not believe he is guaranteed a spot in Zidane's strongest line-up following the signing of Ferland Mendy from Olympique Lyon, and has requested that Real to listen to any offers for his services.

Marcelo has made 486 appearances for Real so far, scoring 36 goals and assisting another 90 strikes. He has also lifted 20 trophies at the Santiago Bernabeu since joining the club from Fluminense in 2007.
