Cristiano Ronaldo is hoping to lure former Real Madrid team mate Marcelo to Juventus, with the Brazilian currently out of favour under manager Santiago Solari, according to Spanish media AS.
The pair remain firm friends following their time together at the Santiago Bernabeu, and reports in AS Sport this morning claim that Ronaldo wants the left back to follow his lead and head for Turin.
Marcelo is contracted to Los Blancos until 2022, after signing a new deal with the club in September 2017, stating at the time that he wished to end his career in the Spanish capital.
However, Ronaldo is determined to change his friend's mind, and according to these reports he has spoken regularly with the Brazilian over a potential switch to Serie A.
There is no movement from either side at this stage, however rumours of a potential departure could be strengthened by the fact that Marcelo has been an unused substitute in Real's last two games, wins over Real Betis and Sevilla, despite not being injured.
He is not believed to be looking for a move away, and currently there are no negotiations to do so, and any transfer would have to be initiated by the player himself, with the club unwilling to lose a senior player.

we all want a lot of things to happen. just cos we do doesn't mean it will happen. its the same how we want Messi at Madrid but that's never going to happen.he wanted wanted Messi to join him in serie a but Messi would never leave Barcelona. Ronaldo can want Marcelo at Juventus for the next 5 years but that too wouldn't happen. Ronaldo chose to leave Marcelo at RM and move to Juventus so I don't see why Marcelo should run him down. if he valued their friendship then he would have stayed. and besides:
