JAKARTA - A surprise came from former Real Madrid player Marcelo. The Brazilian decided to separate from Greek club Olympiakos after only five months of joining.

Marcelo has made just five appearances at the top of Greece this season. In fact, he failed to start in one of those games.

This made Cristiano Ronaldo's close friend decide to terminate his one-year contract with the option of an additional year extension, which he had signed.

The 34-year-old's decision was announced through his Instagram account at the end of last week.

"I have gone through unforgettable moments in Greece, where I was warmly welcomed in a new home, not only for me, but also for my family," he wrote, as quoted by Stats Performer.

"Piraeus and the people here have a good heart and it's not the last time I've been in this amazing country. I can only say thank you for wearing an Olympiacos jersey. Despite the brief visits, the experiences and friends I have there will forever be engraved in my life."

"Today I say goodbye but I leave my love and respect to the president, my teammates, all the club employees and fans. I wish Olympiacos success in the future! Thank you, Olympiacos," he concluded.

It is not yet known where Marcelo will dock next. However, there is news that the 34-year-old will dock to the Los Angeles Galaxy.

There is also news that the player is following his best friend, Cristiano Ronaldo, to Saudi Arabia.
