Marcelo 'wants to reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus'

Real Madrid left-back Marcelo reportedly wants to quit the Bernabeu at the end of the season and reunite with former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus.

The long-serving defender is now into his 13th season as a Madrid player, racking up close to 500 appearances for the club in that time.

Marcelo is seeking a new challenge for the final years of his career, however, and Tuttosport suggests that Juve are the side he is looking to join.

Los Blancos are in the process of remodelling and president Florentino Perez will apparently grant the Brazilian a summer switch, with Real Betis ace Junior Firpo possibly heading to the Spanish capital in his place.

Juve snapped up Ronaldo, a teammate of Marcelo's for close to a decade, last year in a £100,000,000 transfer.
