Real Madrid defender Marcelo has insisted that he 'does not want to leave' the Bernabeu this summer.
The Brazil international, who has made over 500 appearances for Madrid since arriving in 2007, has been strongly linked with Juventus over the last few weeks.
The 31-year-old has allegedly been identified by the Italian champions as a leading target ahead of this summer's transfer window, and it has been suggested that the left-back is keen to move to Turin in order to reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, Marcelo has firmly shut down rumours that he could leave Zinedine Zidane's side ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.
"I heard two years that I had agreed to join Juventus, and follow Cristiano to Italy. People enjoy creating these rumours," Marcelo said on an Instagram Live. "I did not want to leave, and I don't think Madrid would have let me go. I am very well here in Madrid, and I do not want to leave."
The South American, who has shared the Madrid left-back spot with Frenchman Ferland Mendy this season, has a contract at the Bernabeu until the summer of 2022.
