Marcelo Happy to Stay at Real Madrid Despite Poor Season

Real Madrid defender Marcelo has said he's happy at the club after being restored to starting duties under Zinedine Zidane, dismissing speculation of a summer transfer following a disappointing season.

The Brazil international suffered one of the worst drops in form of any Real player under former manager Santiago Solari. However, he impressed again in Sunday's 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao and told beIN Sports (h/t Marca's Pablo Polo) the Santiago Bernabeu remains his home:

"I'm going to leave, am I? I don't need to talk about my future because everyone knows the happiness I show when I wear this shirt.
