Brazilian footballer Marcelo, Wales footballer Gareth Bale and Spanish footballer Isco all are leaving the Spanish giants Real Madrid. All these three footballers had many successful experiences for this club, including winning five UEFA Champions League (UCL) trophies together.
Real Madrid have already officially announced the exit of Bale and Isco. Though there is no official news about the skipper Marcelo’s exit from the club, the Brazilian has already spoken about the club’s disinterest to extend his contract after his latest contract ends this June. Although the 34-year-old Brazilian has always clarified his intention to continue his journey with the club, it is unlikely to happen from the new season.
Here, we are briefly talking about these three players’ journeys for the Los Blancos as they set an unforgettable era in this club.
Isco
The 30-year-old Spanish footballer Isco served for Real Madrid for nine consecutive years. The attacking midfielder made 353 appearances for this club where he scored 53 goals and provided 58 assists.
