Once again, Brazilian soccer broke the market and made the arrival of a star soccer player worldwide to strengthen its competition in international tournaments.
This time, it was Marcelo
's turn
, the historic former Real Madrid player, who was confirmed by
Fluminense
from Brazil as reinforcement.
"The time has come to return"
, quoted the Brazilian institution on its social networks, making the arrival of the winger official.
On the other hand, the 34-year-old footballer also spoke on social networks 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 links him to the institution for
two years
.
The story with the
Flu
begins when he was barely 13 years old, prior to the legendary career he later achieved.
After great performances achieved in the team that is 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 knew how to shine in the Brazilian National Team, after 17 years, returns to the Brazilian institution with a backpack full of trophies and a glorious time with the Spanish team, where he became one of the benchmarks of the golden stage where he achieved
25 titles
as a protagonist (5 Champions League, 4 Club World Cup, 2 Copa del Rey, 3 European Super Cup, 6 Leagues and 5 Spanish Super Cup).
After his lazy time at Olympiacos, Marcelo returns to Fluminense.

Then, after that golden step, he landed at
Olympiacos
in Greece in mid-September of last year where his step had neither pain nor glory -although more pain than glory-.
In his short five-month stay, the defender played only
10 games
where he was able to contribute three goals for the Greek team.
After the frustrated step, where he arrived as a star, he decided to terminate the contract to return to the institution where he was born.
Surprisingly, the
Tricolor
broke the market for this season and closed the signing of another world star as Gremio did with the arrival of
Pistolero
Luis Suárez
to fight for international competitions.
He also joins the list of great players with a European career and in National Teams that make up Arturo Vidal, David Luiz, Giorgian De Arrascaeta, Filipe Luis, among others.
