Us and Everton looking at bringing in Marcelo from Madrid? Not sure how seriously to take this one, can't believe it has any legs but £5m and a 2yr contract will supposedly get it done. Reports did say we where after a LB that hadn't been mentioned.

Can't imagine his wages would align with our pay structure.
Don't want something like that affecting team cohesion.

He would def need to take a huge pay cut or Madrid pay a heft percentage towards. If we got him and got him playing like we all know he can he would be a fantastic signing, just don't see it.

33 yrs old as well which seems outside the age of our usual recruits.

Was the best LWB in the world a couple of years ago. 33 or not if we can get him playing again he would be a huge improvement on what we have.

Yes but can a 33 Yr old cope with Bielsaball?

Pabs did for two seasons quite well!? And actually showed in his final game that he was still capable (in fact more than capable) . Even MB conceded that he should’ve perhaps had more game time?

Not happening. As Gummie says, huge pay cut required - currently on a mere £331,000 a week. Everton supposedly interested, and I guess they might push to around half his current wage, their current highest are Bernard and Yery Mina - both on £120,000 - and it’s perhaps the kind of desperate stunt they might pull to try to get in the mix for a European place next season - signing James Rodriguez was a slightly lower level move in this ‘Hollywood’ direction - though he’s only on £90,000.

Though Marcelo generally seems a fairly decent bloke, having such a high profile player within the club does not seem like a move Bielsa would want to make. He seems to be a team player, but even so the addition of such a player could risk unbalancing the current dynamics within the squad and the club as a whole.

Beckham is supposedly also interested in taking him to Miami, and of course they’ve been friends since they played together at Real in Marcelo’s first season there. Most importantly perhaps, media outlets in Spain seem to be reporting that the player actually wants to see out the last year of his contract there - currently vice-captain and could be made captain if, as expected, Sergio Ramos leaves. He also has a good relationship with Ancelloti, who gave him more playing time than any other manager during his previous stint at Real. Of course the player could be saying this to help push up the wage suitors might offer through his agent, to entice him away. Either way, can’t see him playing here next season.
