Club career
Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Marcelo was a Real Madrid youth graduate. In July 2012, after being released, he went on a trial at Segunda División B's CF Badalona, signing a contract one month later. He made his senior debuts with the latter in the 2012–13 campaign, appearing in 21 matches and scoring two goals, but left in June 2013.
In the 2013 summer Marcelo moved to Granada CF, being assigned to the reserves also in the third level. On 19 August 2014 he signed for Juventus F.C., being immediately loaned back to the Andalusians for one year.
On 14 January 2015 Marcelo made his first team debut, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–4 away loss against Sevilla FC for the season's Copa del Rey. On 11 July he moved to Girona FC, in a season-long loan deal.
On 18 April 2016 Marcelo terminated his loan with the Catalans, and immediately joined UCAM Murcia CF on loan until June. On 7 July, after helping in the club's first ever promotion to Segunda División, he signed a two-year deal with CD Lugo.
Marcelo made his debut in the second tier on 27 August 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute for Carlos Hernández in a 3–3 home draw against Real Zaragoza.
