Most goals conceded in the league
Former Bundesliga professional Marcelo (34) is, according to information from the “L’Equipe“ agreed with Girondins Bordeaux about a short-term engagement until the end of the season. In the relegation-threatened “Les Girondins”, the central defender should strengthen the defense with the most goals conceded in the league at the moment (53).
During the week, Marcelo had separated from Olympique Lyon after five years “by mutual consent” despite the current contract until 2023. OL had only allowed the Brazilian to play in the 4th division for the reserves since last summer, the reason being “inappropriate behavior by Marcelo in the dressing room after the game in Angers”. The right-footed player had not played more competitive games for any club in his career.
Bordeaux and the player agreed on Thursday evening about an initial six-month commitment, and the working paper should also include an option for a further year. After talks with Marseille’s Álvaro González stalled, technical director Admar Lopes thought Marcelo was the ideal alternative, also because it was inexpensive, because of his Ligue 1 experience.
