Marcelo seeks new contract from Real Madrid

Real Madrid captain Marcelo wants a new contract.

Marca says the Brazilian's contract expires on June 30 and throughout the season there has been talk about the full-back's future.

Everything seems to indicate that his time at Real Madrid is over, pending what happens in the Champions League final on May 28 in Paris.

Nearing his 34th birthday, the Real Madrid defender still feels he has the strength and ability to continue with the team he joined in 2007 at the age of 18, where he has gone on to become the player who has won the most titles with Los Blancos.

So far this season, Marcelo has played in 17 games, with his contribution in extra time against Chelsea being particularly noteworthy, a game in which he was injured shortly after coming on, but given his team's needs, he continued playing with a muscular problem.

Real Madrid's directors are waiting for the season to conclude before making any final decisions. While it is true that Luka Modric is already aware of the club's intention to renew his contract, which also expires on June 30, 2022, in the case of Marcelo there has been no communication to that effect.
