After finishing his contract with Buriram United, Marcelo Djalo received an invitation from a V.League team. However, the midfielder born in 1993 chose to wear the PT Prachuap shirt, a mid-level team of Thailand.
Getting used to living in Thailand and wanting to maintain a stable competition environment is the main reason why Marcelo Djalo refused the opportunity to come to Vietnam.
This choice made Vietnamese football fans regretful when they missed the opportunity to witness a classy central defender who had grown up from Real Madrid's training center competing in the V.League. However, the domestic transfer market is still bustling with many notable contracts.
Marcelo Djalo has played for Real Madrid's U15, U17 and U19 youth teams, but has not been able to reach the first team. After leaving " Los Blancos", he moved to Barcelona, then had a time playing for Juventus but did not leave an outstanding mark.
In 2017, he was signed by Fulham (England) for 800,000 euros but has only played in a few matches in the FA Cup and Championship. Marcelo Djalo's career only really took off when he came to the Thai League and played successfully for Buriram United.
In another development, the V.League transfer market is entering a vibrant period. Phu Dong Ninh Binh Club is about to announce a Spanish coach with a quality foreign squad. On the domestic team's side, this team has recruited outstanding names such as Nguyen Duc Chien, Chau Ngoc Quang, Dung Quang Nho and Tran Bao Toan.
Nam Dinh Steel Blue also quickly added forces with A Mit and Dang Van Toi. Meanwhile, The Cong Viettel attracted attention when signing a contract with "goalkeeper" Lucao.
