The Brazilian defender, who joined the club in the 2006-2006 season from Fluminense Football Club of Brazil, has finished his cycle with the team that plays at the Santiago Bernabeu, and in his time at Madrid won 13 national titles and 12 international trophies, becoming one of the club's most successful players.

And due to his quality, the player had since his arrival a considerably high salary that allowed him to have a good standard of living at the same time, Real Madrid had no fear of any rival team stealing the talented defender, who gradually consolidated in the team and year after year continued to collect his salary, which upon review, reveals that the player earned a fortune with the Merengue club. 

This is how much Marcelo earned with Real Madrid in his entire career with Los Merengues

According to the review of his salary available on The Money.co, and with his data available on Transfermarkt, Marcelo received 8 million, 500 thousand dollars per season, and given that the player played for Madrid for 16 seasons, Marcelo received more than 137 million dollars, a figure that is very close to the 160 million dollars that Erling Haaland's transfer cost.

It should not be forgotten that this was the amount that Pep Guardiola's Manchester City paid for the Norwegian center forward to wear the Skyblue uniform, which helps to understand a little of a large amount of money Marcelo earned at Real Madrid, after his more than 16 seasons wearing the Merengue uniform.
