CRISTIANO RONALDO swapped Real Madrid for Juventus last month - and Marcelo has now played it coy when quizzed on reports linking himself with a move to Turin.

Ronaldo quit Real Madrid for a new challenge with Juventus after growing tired at the club’s refusal to grant him pay parity with Lionel Messi and Neymar.

Since then, talk has been rife that Marcelo will be joining Cristiano Ronaldo in Italy.

The Brazil international has been an ever-present for Real Madrid for well over a decade and, having won the Champions League four times, may be tempted to leave for a new challenge.

Juventus already have one top left-back on their books in the form of Alex Sandro.

Despite that, though, talk has been rife that Marcelo may follow Ronaldo to Turin.

Yet, speaking ahead of Los Blancos’ UEFA Super Cup showdown with Atletico Madrid, the 30-year-old was coy.

He said: “Me at Juve with Ronaldo? I do not want to talk about it now, we’re here for a final and it’s not the time.”

Real Madrid would no doubt be reluctant to let Marcelo go.

They have already angered supporters by allowing Ronaldo to leave for a relatively modest £105million.

However, they have managed to fend Manchester United and Inter Milan off on Gareth Bale and Luka Modric.

Meanwhile, Marcelo has claimed Atletico Madrid have improved ahead of tonight’s Super Cup showdown.

“We are excited to play anther final and to defend the team colours,” he added.

“We are looking forward to playing, and winning.

“Every game is different and finals are also different.

“They have improved and so have we.

“It will be a hard fought match, we want to play well and both teams are great right now, and in a final anything can happen. It’ll be a great game.”
