Real Madrid defender, Marcelo, has insisted he will retire at the club, after strongly dismissing links with Juventus.
Marcelo was reportedly a target for Juve, who lured former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo to Turin, before the transfer window closed.
The 30-year-old has won three successive Champions League titles and four in total since arriving from Fluminense in 2007.
“It’s an element which is hardly worth discussing. I’m very happy at Real Madrid, it’s my home and I’ve got many years left on my contract,†Marcelo said.
“I’m very happy, it’s the best club in the world and I always want to play for the very best.
“It’s good to talk about it because there are always rumours and it’s tough for me to have to continually show I want to be here and can play here. However, I always give it my best to be at the best club in the world.
“I just keep doing my job and I have to show what I can do every year.
“I enjoy every moment of playing for Real Madrid and naturally, I give it everything I’ve got. (marcelo) makes sure the fans enjoy football and Madrid are always at the top, where they belong.
“I want to be at Madrid for many years. ’m very calm about it all and I want to continue at Real Madrid. Although, Lots of people hide behind social media to spread ridiculous rumours and cause problems where they don’t exist.
“I’m as hungry as when I was 18 years old and I’ll be here until the end.â€
