Real Madrid left-back, Marcelo, has said what the club needed to do at the moment was to “pay me up” and he will leave this summer, if they want him to. The 30-year-old has won 20 trophies, including four Champions Leagues, after spending more than a decade at the Bernabeu. However, he has been on the bench for the team’s last five LaLiga games, with coach Santi Solari preferring youth team graduate, Sergio Reguilon. Marcelo has been regularly linked with a move to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus and told Brazilian outlet Esporte Interativo, that he would quit if he is asked to.
“If I am on the list of players [Madrid] want to sell, then they can pay me up and all is sorted. “I trust in myself, in my work, but if a day comes when Real Madrid do not want me, I’ll go. I will be sad, but I’ll go. But I am sure I will not be kicked out,” Marcelo said.
Marcelo has been linked with a move to Juventus after losing his place to 22-year-old left-back Sergio Reguilon. Marcelo has told Esporte Interativo he will leave if Madrid do not want him, but Solari denied being dissatisfied with the Brazil international.
"Marcelo is great - he's our vice-captain and an emblem of the club," Solari added. "He has always put the club first and he is training well, like all the other players. Like I said, he's great and we all like him. He works hard in every training session."
Madrid are unbeaten in seven games in all competitions while Ajax are stumbling, losing two of their past three games including a 6-2 Eredivisie thrashing at Feyenoord.
"That's what this profession is like, in football you have one game and another. Then when you lose it's terrible, when you win it's fine," Solari continued. "Day to day, on the inside, we want to compete - and on the next day too. Tomorrow is very important for this competition and this is where we focus. Other things, we don't pay a lot of attention to it as managers and players and it's right to be like this. "I don't think it's a bad period for them, I don't agree. I think they are having a good season. I've seen a lot of games and they play well, construct the play well and they have great players. This is football. There is always an opponent and you have to respect them all, just like the teams Ajax have played.
"I hope we play a game with a serious performance as we did three days ago, that's my maximum hope. Football is day to day work. All we have to live for is the game tomorrow."
