Cristiano Ronaldo pushing for Marcelo to join him at Juventus? Transfer Market - Real Madrid Italian media talk of replacement for Alex Sandro

Marcelo may become the latest Real Madrid player to swap LaLiga for Serie A, if Cristiano Ronaldo gets his way.

New reports label the Brazilian as the ideal man to come and join Ronaldo in Turin, with it said that the pair exchange regular messages and discuss how life has begun in Italy for the winger.

Tuttosport claim that Ronaldo has been extolling the virtues of Juventus' dressing room and the positivity that exists across the squad.

That has made Marcelo 'very curious' about the possibility of playing for the Old Lady.

Central to this story going any further is Alex Sandro, with Juve keen to cash in on the left-back and subsequently needing a new man for that position, potentially targeting Real's current first choice.
