Real Madrid have confirmed a ‘tribute ceremony’ for captain Marcelo will take place on Monday afternoon ahead of his departure from the club.
The Brazilian full-back has spent 15 years with the Spanish outfit and will leave the club as the most decorated player in its history – having won 25 major trophies, including five Champions Leagues and six LaLiga titles.
With his contract expiring on June 30, Marcelo is set to become a free agent and is linked with a number of European clubs including Fenerbahce and Marseille.
In a statement on their website, the club confirmed: ‘Real Madrid would like to announce that tomorrow, Monday 13 June, at 1pm (CET), there will be an institutional farewell and tribute ceremony for our captain Marcelo at Real Madrid City, which will be presided over by club president Florentino Pérez. The full-back is expected to receive the same treatment Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos were awarded upon their Bernabeu departure – celebrating all of the trophies he has won over the last 16 seasons.
