Tuttosport's front page says Juve will sign Marcelo while Madrid want Tagliafico to replace him

Marcelo’s days at Madrid are numbered. Tuttosport’s front cover on Tuesday featured an image of the Brazilian with the headline “Marcelo is Juve’s”. The Italian club want him to link up with Cristiano Ronaldo again in Turin.

Marcelo’s link to Juve is nothing new but a new chapter has opened.

Nicolas Tagliafico’s agent Ricardo Schlieper revealed as much. “Tagliafico’s name is on Real Madrid’s list because Marcelo will go to Juventus, but nobody has called me yet,” he explained.

Tagliafioco has played 29 games this season, scoring four goals and providing five assists.

However Los Blancos may have to battle city rivals Atletico Madrid for the 26-year-old Ajax defender.
