Marcelo will remain at Real Madrid this summer following the return of Zinedine Zidane, according to a report.

Real Madrid defender Marcelo will reportedly remain at the Bernabeu this summer following the return of Zinedine Zidane as head coach.

Marcelo has had one of his most difficult seasons since arriving at Madrid in 2007, with the 30-year-old losing his spot to Sergio Reguilon in the latter stages of Santiago Solari's tenure.

Juventus have been strongly linked with a swoop for the Brazil international in recent weeks, but according to Don Balon, Zidane's return to Los Blancos will see the left-back remain in the Spanish capital.

Marcelo was given the nod to start last weekend's La Liga clash with Celta Vigo and the fixture proved to be just the third time that the South American had completed a full league game in 2019.

The South American is closing in on 500 appearances for Madrid in all competitions, landing four La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey crowns and four Champions League trophies during his time in the Spanish capital.
