“I heard two years ago that I had agreed to join Juventus and follow Cristiano to Italy,” Marcelo said in an Instagram Live chat with Fabio Cannavaro.
“People enjoy creating these rumours. I didn’t want to leave then and I don’t believe Real Madrid would’ve allowed me to go either. I am still very happy in Madrid and do not intend on leaving.”
Marcelo’s contract at the Bernabeu runs until June 2022 and was signed in 2017.
He turns 32 later this month and has been at Real Madrid since January 2007.
