Ronaldo pushing Juventus to go for Real Madrid wing-back Marcelo

Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo is keen to be reunited with former Real Madrid teammate Marcelo.

Ronaldo believes the veteran wing-back still has plenty to offer and believes he would be a valuable addition to Juve's squad next season.

Marca says Ronaldo has repeatedly dropped Marcelo's name to Jue directors this season, knowing the Brazilian is weighing up his options.

Marcelo has found himself in direct competition with summer arrival Ferland Mendy at Real this season and doesn't wish to play out his career as a bench player.

At Juve, he would be competing with Alex Sandro for a starting place and would be confident of establishing himself ahead of his countryman.
