Marcelinho to join NorthEast United for the rest of 21/22

Marcelinho is set to return to the ISL, and will be signed by NorthEast United until the end of the season. He is currently playing for Rajasthan United, and will be signed on a loan deal until the end of the season. 

According to renowned journalist Marcus Mergulhao, the deal is done and will be announced by the club soon. Interestingly, Marcelinho joined Rajasthan last month, but could not be registered by the club. As a result, he will spend the remainder of the ISL season on loan in the top flight of Indian football.
