The PSV Eindhoven defender has expressed his desire of playing for the Serie A powerhouse, and has insisted that he will not turn down an opportunity to join the Turin giants.
PSV Eindhoven central defender, Marcelo Antonio Guedes Filho, has long been linked with a number of elite European clubs including the likes of AC Milan, AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 and Manchester United following his consistent performances for the past couple of seasons.
The 25-year-old, who arrived at Philips Stadion at the start of the 2010/11 season after making 49 league appearances for Wisla Krakow, has become one of the integral parts of the Eindhoven giants’ back-line.
His impressive and consistent showings have garnered him immense interest from several top European clubs, who have expressed keen interest in luring the Brazilian stopper away from Philips Stadion before the start of the 2013/14 campaign.
If rumours are to be believed, Juventus are one of the clubs interested in signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554, and the highly talented centre-back has revealed that he would love to take the step in his career, while insisting that playing for the Turin giants will be a dream
comes true for him.
“They are a big club and to play for Juventus would be a dream. But, for the moment, I am thinking of PSV. It [http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926] is a great country with a top-class league. If a player were to have the chance to play there, it's difficult to turn down”, Marcelo was
quoted as saying to the media.
The Bianconeri are in the market in search of a talented central defender, who could replace http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucio-c22597 in the heart of the defence. The Brazilian international arrived at Juventus Stadium earlier this year, but has failed to strengthen the club’s back-line.
And the Serie A side has set their sights on the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 stopper as a perfect replacement for the 34-year-old at the back.
Marcelo, who has thus far represented the Boeren in over 50 league matches since joining the club in the summer of 2010, has an ongoing contract at Philips Stadion that runs until the summer of 2016.
However, reports indicate that an offer in the region of eight million Euros would be enough to lure the centre-back to Juventus Stadium before the start of the next season.
