Real Madrid announce farewell ceremony today for departing captain Marcelo

Real Madrid plan a farewell ceremony for departing captain Marcelo.

The Brazilian full-back has spent 15 years with the Spanish outfit and will leave the club as the most decorated player in its history - having won 25 major trophies, including five Champions Leagues and six LaLiga titles.

With his contract expiring on June 30, Marcelo is set to become a free agent and is linked with a number of European clubs including Fenerbahce and Marseille.

In a statement on their website, the club confirmed: "Real Madrid would like to announce that tomorrow, Monday 13 June, at 1pm (CET), there will be an institutional farewell and tribute ceremony for our captain Marcelo at Real Madrid City, which will be presided over by club president Florentino Pérez.

"After this event, Marcelo will address the media in the press room at Real Madrid City."
