Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari is delighted with the extra work Marcelo has put into training, it has been revealed.

While he was accused of carrying extra kilos several weeks ago, Marcelo has been able to cut his weight, revealed Okdiario's chief pundit Eduardo Inda.

He told El Chiringuito: "I said that Marcelo had asked to go to Juventus in the summer. His agent, René Ramos, is now focused on the revival of the player to put in the batteries especially at the end of the season.

"Marcelo has lost four kilos in recent weeks. He is making a great effort. He will train every day free. René wants him to finish his career at Madrid, but he is not very convinced and he wants to go with Cristiano Ronaldo (to Juventus)."

Inda added: "Solari is impressed and believes he can count on him in the El Clasicos (against Barcelona in the Liga and Copa)."
