One of the great mysteries left by the closing of the market this past Friday was the fate of Marcelo Vieira. The former Real Madrid side, who was free, has finally signed for the Greek Olympiacos, as announced by the team itself on its official channels. “It is a pleasure to announce the arrival of a true legend like Marcelo,” said the Hellenic team on their social networks welcoming the 34-year-old Brazilian soccer player. He has signed for one season, until June 30, 2023, plus an optional one. Marcelo will thus fulfill one of his greatest wishes when he left the white team this summer: to continue in Europe. Many were the proposals that came to him during a long summer in which he has remained silent and trained hard to arrive in the best possible shape for his new destination. The player born in Rio de Janeiro thus begins a new professional adventure after 16 seasons in the current champion of the Champions League, where he left his mark as the most successful footballer in the entity’s history. Olympiacos will be, after Fluminense and Real Madrid itself, the third professional team of his career. The best moments of Marcelo’s emotional farewell tribute to Real Madrid During those 16 years he played 546 games for the Madrid team, scoring 38 goals, and became one of the best footballers in its history and with an enviable record that includes five Champions Leagues, six Leagues, four Club World Cups, three European Super Cups, two King’s Cups and five Spanish Super Cups. A club with ‘ Spanish flavor’ than playing the Europa League In the Greek team, Marcelo will meet some ex-football players from LaLiga… and he will also be coached by a Spanish coach: Carlos Corbern. The 39-year-old Valencian arrived this summer from Huddersfield Town, where he was about to be promoted to the Premier League. The squad also includes old acquaintances from our football such as Vaclik (ex-Sevilla), Vrsaljko (ex-Atltico), Pipa (former Espanyol), Kunde (former Atltico, Extremadura and Granada), Pep Biel (former Zaragoza), Konrad de la Fuente (former Bara) and El Arabi (former Granada). This season they will play in UEFA Europe League, where they were drawn in Group G along with Qarabag, Freiburg and Nantes.
