Real Madrid Plan Special Send-off for Marcelo – after Gareth Bale Departed with Only a Club Statement.

Marcelo, a Real Madrid great, will be given a special send-off when he departs the club at the end of the month.

The 34-year-old Brazilian has spent 16 seasons with Real Madrid since joining in January 2007. He is the club’s most decorated player. To his name, he has 25 major medals including five Champions Leagues and six La Liga crowns.

Marcelo’s has been connected with a number of European teams, notably Fenerbahce and Marseille.

Unlike Marcelo, Real Madrid delivered a poignant letter this week thanking Gareth Bale for his contributions, confirming his departure from the Bernabeu at the end of the month.

Reports claim Marcelo will be treated in the same way as Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos when they left the Bernabeu, with all of the trophies he has won over the last 16 seasons being honored.

He’ll be accompanied by current and past Real Madrid teammates, as well as family and friends.

The Spanish giants were clearly eager to repay the favor with a heartfelt performance of their own.

Despite the lack of a fixed site, Madrid is apparently preparing to conduct the event in Valdebebas.

From the left-back position, the Brazilian has made 545 appearances for Real Madrid in all competitions, scoring 38 goals and assisting 103.

He is largely considered as one of the finest full-backs in the history of the game.

Isco, a midfielder for Los Blancos, has a contract that expires at the end of June.

Real Madrid are planning a summer revamp this summer, despite missing out on Kylian Mbappe to Paris Saint-Germain last month.

Antonio Rudiger has been brought in to strengthen the defense, while French internationals Paul Pogba and Aurelien Tchouameni have been linked with transfers to the Bernabeu.

The Champions League champions have a large pay bill exiting the club with Bale, Isco, and Marcelo all moving, and are anticipated to assault the summer transfer market before the season starts.
