Eliminated from the first team of Olympique Lyonnais since August 17 because of his “inappropriate behavior” and pushed to the exit, the central defender Marcelo (34 years old, 2 games in L1 this season) has not yet left while the transfer window closed on Tuesday evening in many countries. But Lyon’s sports director, Juninho, says he has no chance of playing for OL again.
“We no longer count on him. I have already explained that to Marcelo,” Juninho said on Wednesday on the sidelines of the presentation of central defender Jérôme Boateng. “He received proposals. We were ready to let him go free, but he said no. It was Marcelo’s choice not to accept until now,” continued the Brazilian, who recalls that there is has “championships where the transfer window is not over. So you have to be a little bit patient”.
