If they want to have Marcelo in London to face Chelsea next Wednesday, the 5th, Real Madrid will have to pay 20 thousand euros. The Real Madrid defender will not be able to continue with the team the day before, since on the 4th he will have to fulfill his civic duty as an alternate at a polling station for the elections in the Community of Madrid, which will take place next Tuesday. .
Even though he is an alternate – that is, it is possible that he will not even be at the polling station – he will have to be on the spot as of 8 am. If the holder appears, he can go home, but not leave Madrid. You will therefore not be able to leave the city with the team.
The Spanish newspaper As refers that the Brazilian player, also with Spanish nationality, did not present justification for being dismissed in time. Zinedine Zidane said this Friday that the player “will fulfill his obligations” and will still be with the team, suggesting that the club will take steps to take the player to London on match day.
The same source then states that Real Madrid will have to pay for a private plane to take the player to London, which could cost around 20,000 euros.
Real also asked the Electoral Board to be released, given the special nature of the profession. He claimed that the player lives in a bubble, like most footballers, with few outside contacts, and could run the risk of contracting Covid-19 by appearing at the election site, but received a negative response.
The decision has been made to take the player to London, but if he really has to be at the table the day before and be in a closed space in contact with dozens of people, the trip is likely to be canceled.
