Departing Real Madrid captain Marcelo attracts Marseille, Fenerbahce approaches

Departing Real Madrid captain Marcelo is being linked with Olympique Marseille.

Marcelo will leave Real Madrid this summer as his contract winds down this month.

An offer from Fenerbahce worth €4m for 12 months has been tabled to Marcelo, while he has already rejected a €10m contract from a Qatari club.

Fanatik reports along with Fener, Marseille have also made contact with the veteran wing-back.

Marcelo stated this week: “A return to Brazil? No, for the moment, this eventuality does not exist. I still want to play in the Champions League. I still have a few more years that I want to use to keep playing this tournament. I don't want to lie. Some say I will go to Botafogo, others to Fluminense; I say that I will not go."
