Dani Alves and Marcelo on the same team? Brazil’s Ronaldo wants to keep both legends in the Spanish league

The end of an era. Marcelo and Dani Alves are free agents and can look for new engagements. And there is one very tempting option in play. The two Brazilian legends could be at the same club, which is also owned by Brazilian phenom Ronaldo.

Two Brazilians, two legends and two men who have gone down in history as some of the best outside backs in the history of world football. But every era comes to an end. Dani Alves ends up at Barcelona again, Marcelo leaves Real Madrid.

In addition, Alves is the record holder for the most trophies won in the world of football, with no one having collected more so far, although it is possible that he will soon be surpassed by his former teammate and friend Lionel Messi.

And even though Alves is a little older than his Brazilian counterpart, who plays on the other side of the pitch, he has shown in Barcelona that even at 39 he has what it takes to play at the highest level. And it is not impossible that this will be the case. Even with Marcelo on the same team.

In fact, Ronaldo Nazário, another Brazilian legend, owns Spanish club Real Valladolid, which is also returning to the top-flight scene. His plan is clear. To get both these men on his team.

The fact that Ronaldo has a very good relationship with both full-backs may play a big part in this plan. And it is the two extra full-backs he is looking for after his promotion to La Liga. According to Brazilian outlet UOL Esporte, it will not be a problem to offer the players adequate wages.

However, both players would like to play in the upcoming World Cup and it is questionable whether an engagement with the Spanish first team could help. Moreover, Marcelo, at 34, is not short of offers, with various European clubs, led by AC Milan, wanting him, according to European media.

Alves is particularly speculated to be of interest to Brazilian teams. However, if Ronaldo manages to bring in at least one of these players, it will be a big win in terms of marketing as well.
