How Chelsea defender could help Juventus land Marcelo
The Brazilian international has already made it clear that he misses his great friend Cristiano Ronaldo, and his possible defection is the sign of a team that feels like it’s already over the hill.
Marcelo has already refused to rule out a move to Turin, and we wrote yesterday that Juventus have a plan to sign the 30-year-old in a new Dani Alves-like operation.
