After Juventus won the services of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo last summer, Italian press reports revealed that the Italian club is seeking a new strike to Real Madrid by adding another star of his ranks.
The left-back Marcelo, wanted by Juventus in the January transfer window, is expected to join his former colleague and close friend Ronaldo, the daily Calcio Mercato said.
However, the broad-based newspaper pointed to an obstacle to the transfer of Marcelo (30 years) to the team of the city of Turin, is the president of Real Madrid Florentino Perez, who refused more than once to give up the player in January.
But if Antonio Conte is the manager of Real Madrid, a deal with Juventus is possible. Brazilian striker Alex Sandro is moving to Santiago Bernabeu in return for his compatriot Marcelo to leave the old lady, according to Calcio Mercato.
Marcelo has been one of Real Madrid's mainstays since moving to Fluminense from Brazil in 2007, and has been one of the reasons for Europe's superiority over the past years.
Santiago Solari is Real Madrid's interim coach after the departure of Juleen Loptegui on the back of negative results from the team recently, while Italian Conti remains a strong candidate for the training of the Blanco.
