Lazio have officially begin to negotiate with Marcelo and Sari really wants to get him to Rome. Also the rumors are they offered him a 3 years contract as that is nuts as he is already 34 but I have a feeling that he can still play at top level even when he's turning 37. I do hope Marcelo comes to Lazio as this team will fight for Europe spots again this year of Serie A.
Even though he is old, Marcelo's power is still very high considering the way he plays and contributes to the team. Yes he still deserves to play in a team at the top level, his ability is unquestionable. He will give something to the team he is strengthening I'm sure of that. His experience will be felt for the team.
I agree that he could still play for another 3 years, but I expected Roma to get him, not Lazio, Mourinho played with him before and he knows how great he could be and that would allow them to get him, because there is a connection there, so the chatter would be easier to establish.
In any case, Marcelo deserves to play for a good club for a few more years, dude is good enough to actually matter and it would be weird to let him retire at 34, or go to a terrible club, he still has a lot more to offer. At the end of the day it is going to be some player who just plays the game, he is going to be also a good leader for the team and that matters a lot if you ask me.
Marcelo in addition to successfully winning many trophies with Real Madrid, Marcelo is also a player who has high loyalty. Imagine Marcelo has been
with Real Madrid for 18 years, so any team that can get Marcelo is lucky. It looks like Lazio are ahead for Marcelo, because so far only Lazio have
started negotiations with Marcelo. But the problem is that Marcelo wants a long-term contract for 3 years and asks for a salary of 2.5 million euros
per season. Making Lazio have to consider carefully, because Marcelo's age is no longer young and is also worried about Marcelo's physical condition,
Marcelo spent most of his time on the bench and started only 5 games for Real Madrid last season. I agree with you, Marcelo is more suitable to
join Roma, because Mourinho already knew Marcelo when he was coach of Real Madrid. But unfortunately so far there have been no rumors linking
Roma with Marcelo. So it's most likely that Lazio have a big chance to get Marcelo.
