After 16 years playing in European football, Marcelo is back at Fluminense.

On social media, fans are already moving to receive him in Brazil and prepare a big party at the airport. EXTRA helps in this mission.

He is expected to arrive in Rio de Janeiro between the 10th and 15th of March and the fans are already preparing to receive him at the airport. So much so that the hashtag ‘AeroTwelve’ entered among the most talked about topics on social networks.

The delay for Marcelo to land in Brazil is because he is still completing the procedures for his move to Rio de Janeiro. Bureaucratic and logistical issues prevent the arrival of the left-back faster.

The debut, however, will depend on his physical condition and the time to be registered in the competitions that Fluminense is playing. For Libertadores, no problem. It is certain that he will be available for the tricolor debut in the tournament since there is a longer period for registration.

In the Carioca Championship, registration is until the eve of the penultimate working day preceding the semifinals of the competition. That is, the tricolor will have to speed up the documentation to have it available.

He is also certain that he will wear shirt number 12, his favorite number since his days with Real and the Brazilian national team. He belonged to Fábio and passed to Vitor Eudes after the starting goalkeeper took over at 1. The substitute agreed to transfer him to Marcelo. On social networks, fans are already customizing shirts with the name and number of the side.

Eight signing of the season, Marcelo joins goalkeeper Vitor Eudes, right-back Guga, defender Vitor Mendes, left-back Jorge, midfielders Giovanni e Lima and striker Keno. Santos midfielder Gabriel Pirani will be announced soon.
