Real Madrid left-back Marcelo has revealed he could have made more money elsewhere.

The young Brazil international said: "I'm not a mercenary. When I was at Fluminense, Sevilla and CSKA of Moscow wanted me.

"CSKA made a bid much higher than Madrid's and I told them that was not going there, I did not want to. One week after Madrid came in me the offer was made, but I turned it down because the only thing I wanted was to play for Real."
