AS Roma have made Real Madrid full-back Marcelo one of their top targets in the summer transfer window, reports La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Giallorossi have been far from impressed with the summer arrival Federico Balzaretti, and they are eager to increase competition for places on the left side of defence.
La Gazzetta dello Sport has suggested that Roma are seriously considering making a move on Real Madrid defender Marcelo.
Club sporting director Walter Sabatini has met with FIFA agent Ernesto Bronzetti to discuss the possibility of signing the Brazilian and official proposal is set to follow.
Marcelo has mostly been playing second fiddle to Fabio Coentrao this season and he could be interested in a change of environment.
The 25-year-old joined Real Madrid from Fluminense in January 2007 and has since scored 14 goals in 170 La Liga appearances.
Marcelo might need to leave los Blancos in search of first team football if he is to keep his place in the Brazil national team.
