Marcelo wants rising star Lucas Paqueta to follow his Flamengo team-mate Vinicius to Real Madrid after being impressed with the 20-year-old.

Paqueta is the latest star to come through the club’s ranks and as well as his talents on the pitch, has also rose to fame with his ‘dancinha’ celebration with Madrid-bound Vinicius.

Speaking on YouTube channel Segue o Baile, Marcelo said: “I am here to wish you the greatest success in the world.

“I hope you have a brilliant career. I have already told Vinicius that I’m a fan of your left leg, it’s golden! He is coming to play with me, you could too.

“Your dance is also spectacular. I tried to do it but it doesn’t work out.

“Continue on your path, I hope god continues to bless you, and that you and Vinicius can continue to do the best possible for your team.”

Paqueta has been linked with a number of number of European clubs including Italian giants Juventus. For Vinicius, he will remain at Flamengo until the end of the 2019 season.
