Marcelo Amado Djaló Taritolay (born 8 October 1993), simply known as Marcelo, is a Bissau-Guinean footballer who plays as a central defender for Spanish club CD Lugo.
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.
