- Was a legend in La Liga
- Won five Champions League title
- Yet to start in Super League Greece 1
WHAT HAPPENED? In the summer transfer window, the left-back saw his contract expire in Madrid and so after 16 seasons with Los Blancos he headed elsewhere. Indeed, the Brazilian signed a one-year contract with Olympiacos that included the option for an extra season.
However, it now looks as though he is set to leave with a new offer on the table.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: According to reports in the Greek media, Olympiacos are aware of the offer for Marcelo – which has been made by an unnamed club – and are now in contact with the player's agents as they look to terminate his contract by mutual consent.
AND WHAT'S MORE: The left-back is Real Madrid's all-time most decorated player with 25 trophies to his name and so it may come as a bit of a shock to some that things haven't gone to plan in Greece.
