Real Madrid legend, Marcelo Vieira is set to receive a special celebratory send-off when he leaves the club at the end of the month.

The 34-year-old Brazilian, who has played 16 seasons for Real Madrid since his arrival in January 2007, is the most decorated player in the club’s history with 25 major trophies, including five Champions Leagues and six La Liga titles.

As his contract expires on June 30, Marcelo is set to become a free agent and is linked with a number of European clubs including Fenerbahce and Marseille.

Gareth Bale’s exit from the Bernabeu at the end of the month was also confirmed last week as Real Madrid released a heartfelt statement to thank him for his services.

The 32-year-old, who joined Los Blancos for a then-world-record £86million in 2013, was described as a ‘club legend’ by Real Madrid in their statement.

However, unlike Marcelo, it seems he will not receive any kind of special tribute upon his departure.

The Wales international enjoyed a blistering start to life in the Spanish capital, scoring 88 goals in his first 189 appearances.

However, Bale’s relationship with the Real Madrid fans and the Spanish media has severed in recent years, which culminated in the Welshman hitting back at malicious comments made by Marca in March.

Marcelo’s farewell is set to be a lot more than just a heartfelt statement, according to sports outlet AS.

They claim that the full-back will receive the same treatment Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos were awarded upon their Bernabeu departure, celebrating all of the trophies he has won over the last 16 seasons.

Current -and some former – Real Madrid colleagues, as well as his relatives and friends will reportedly accompany him.

In total, the Brazilian has made 545 appearances for Real Madrid in all competitions, scoring 38 and assisting 103 from the left-back position.
