Veteran Brazilian full-back Marcelo has confirmed he is leaving Real Madrid following their Champions League final triumph.
The 34-year-old left-back has been with Los Blancos since 2007, making almost 550 appearances for the Spanish powerhouse, trailing only Karim Benzema as the highest-ranking foreigner.
Marcelo, who was an unused substitute in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Liverpool, confirmed after the game that he would leave the club this off-season with his contract expiring at the end of June.
“It was my last game with Real Madrid,” Marcelo said.
Marcelo will exit the club with 25 titles as a Madridista, which is more than any other player in club history.
It had been speculated that the Brazilian may accept a pay cut to remain with Madrid next season.
Marcelo, who joined Madrid from Fluminense, made 18 appearances in all competitions this campaign.
