Brazil legend and part owner of newly promoted La Liga side, Real Valladolid, Ronaldo Nazario has offered Brazilian fullbacks, Marcelo and Dani Alves a chance to unite at club level for the first time.
Marcelo, 34, left Real Madrid this summer after 15 successful years, which saw him become the most decorated player in the history of the club.
Dani Alves, 39, left Barcelona at end of a six months loan agreement, following the club’s decision not to renew the agreement.
Both players are currently free agent and Ronaldo is offering them a chance to remain in the Spanish topflight with newly promoted Valladolid.
It will present the Brazil and La Liga legends the chance to play together in club football for the first time and maybe prepare them well enough to be selected for the World Cup later this year.
Albeit Marcelo has retired from the national team in 2018 but should he regain his form in the next months, he could be called up to grace the name of his country in Qatar after all Brazil have struggled to find a deserving man for the spot with Alex Sandro dropped form.
Dani Alves is still committed with the national team and this presents him the chance to remain in the spotlight before the World Cup.
Recreating the chemistry they’ve shared in the course of playing together for the national team might in the end become too tempting to resist for Brazil manager, Tite.
It remains to be seen if both will be tempted to accept the offer. Meanwhile Marcelo has also receive interest from Marseille and Galatasaray.
