The diminutive attacking midfielder is a highly-rated National Team player who operates as an attacking midfielder and can also play on either wing, he also led the Chilean junior national team at the 2015 U/17 FIFA World Cup before making his debut in the senior national team last year.

Talking about his move, Marcelo had little to say except for sharing his excitement about joining Masandawana and said βIβm happy to be here at Mamelodi Sundowns and to contribute to the success of the team.β
