Former Real Madrid star Marcelo is reportedly set to leave Olympiacos despite having joined the Greek side last September.

WHAT HAPPENED? In the summer transfer window, the left-back saw his contract expire in Madrid and so after 16 seasons with Los Blancos he headed elsewhere. Indeed, the Brazilian signed a one-year contract with Olympiacos that included the option for an extra season.

However, it now looks as though he is set to leave with a new offer on the table.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: According to reports in the Greek media, Olympiacos are aware of the offer for Marcelo – which has been made by an unnamed club – and are now in contact with the player's agents as they look to terminate his contract by mutual consent.

AND WHAT'S MORE: The left-back is Real Madrid's all-time most decorated player with 25 trophies to his name and so it may come as a bit of a shock to some that things haven't gone to plan in Greece.

WHAT NEXT FOR MARCELO? It remains to be seen as to where exactly the left-back will end up now but at 34 years of age, he could still have a good few years to play before retirement.
