Fluminense FC and Marcelo Vieira announce the termination of the contract by mutual agreement between the parties. Trained in the youth categories, Marcelo returned to Fluminense in 2023, having participated in winning the Campeonato Carioca 2023 titles, the unprecedented Conmebol Libertadores 2023 and Recopa 2024 titles. The institutional and emotional ties between Fluminense and Marcelo continue to be maintained. The athlete's name was recently immortalized in the Xerém training center stadium. Fluminense thanks Marcelo and will continue, as always, to support his success in all his challenges.
The problem occurred in the final stretch of the match at Maracanã. Marcelo would enter Lima's place and listen to the coach's instructions. Mano got angry with a comment and sent the full-back back to the bench. The technician did not clarify what was said. He just said he didn't like what he heard.
President Mário Bittencourt was supposed to speak after Mano Menezes' press conference on the subject, but that changed. The president only made a statement about arbitration and did not open for questions.
Marcelo was announced by Flu in February 2023. He was the biggest reinforcement of that season that ended with the Libertadores title. The reception was in a packed Maracanã. In September, he was honored by the club with the name at the CT de Xerém stadium, where the base is located.
Physical problems hindered Marcelo's career at Fluminense. In 2023, he played in 32 matches, scored two goals and provided one assist. In 2024, there were 36 games, three goals and two assists. He had a good start to the year, but then struggled to complete games.
The definition takes place with six games left until the end of the Brazilian Championship. The club continues to fight against relegation.
