Report: Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool target Marcelo

Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are both reportedly interested in signing Real Madrid defender Marcelo this summer.

The left-back, who is currently with the Brazil squad at the World Cup, lost his starting spot in the Los Blancos XI to Fabio Coentrao last season following a series of injuries.

The 27-year-old remains a key figure for Madrid, but according to the Daily Star, Marcelo will be allowed to leave this summer if an offer of £25m is received.

With that in mind, Spurs and Liverpool are both believed to be monitoring developments with a view to making their interest official following the completion of the World Cup.

Marcelo has been with Madrid since 2007.
