Former Real Madrid left-back Marcelo has signed a two-year deal with Brazilian club Fluminense, announced the club on Monday. Marcelo, 36, returns to Brazil after a successful career in Europe, where he played for Real Madrid for 15 seasons, winning five Champions League titles, six La Liga titles, and two Copa del Rey titles.
A Return to Familiar Territory
This is Marcelo's second stint with Fluminense, where he started his professional career in 2005. He spent three seasons with the club before moving to Real Madrid in 2007. Marcelo's return is a significant boost for Fluminense, who are currently sixth in the Brazilian Serie A.

Excitement for the Future
The club's president Mário Bittencourt expressed his excitement about Marcelo's return: "Marcelo's return is a historic moment for Fluminense. He is a legend of the club and one of the greatest players in the world. We are confident that he will help us achieve our goals this season."
