Miguel Gutierrez and Rayo Vallecano's Fran Garcia reportedly emerge as two contenders to succeed Marcelo at Real Madrid this summer.

Real Madrid have reportedly earmarked two players as potential successors to Marcelo at the Bernabeu.

The 33-year-old's contract with the capital giants expires at the end of the season, and he is seemingly set to depart as a free agent after a trophy-laden 15 years with Los Blancos.

Marcelo's departure will open up a spot for a new left-back in Carlo Ancelotti's team, although Ferland Mendy has established himself as the club's number one in that department.

According to Marca, Real are considering a swoop for former Castilla starlet Fran Garcia, with the 22-year-old now a regular at Rayo Vallecano and starting 26 La Liga matches this season.

The report adds that Los Blancos could instead promote Miguel Gutierrez to a more senior role, as the 20-year-old has made four senior appearances this season but has largely been restricted to games at youth level.

However, Real could still sanction a temporary loan exit for Gutierrez, who has two goals and eight assists to his name from 15 matches for Real Madrid Castilla this season.
