Former Fulham defender Marcelo Djaló was presented by Spanish side Lugo this Wednesday.

The 25-year-old has returned to Spain with a smile on his face, saying it was his wish, and thanking Scott Parker’s side for making the transfer easy.

“I had been wanting to return for quite some time. We have a good relationship with the president, with everyone, the possibility arose and I decided without thinking”, Djaló revealed in a press conference this Wednesday (via El Correo Gallego).

The player has claimed the process of his Fulham exit was ‘calm’ and ‘pleasing’, saying he’s ready to help his former club.

“At Lugo I feel like I’m at home, back. I know the guts of the club, I know how it works, how they work and I’m delighted to start over.”

Djaló joined Fulham on a €800k move from Lugo back in 2017. He could never really impress at Craven Cottage, having made only four appearances in his first season for the club.

At the start of the 2018/19 season, he was made to La Liga 2 side Extremadura, where things weren’t very different, since he’s played only 19 games.

He then returned to London, but wasn’t used by Fulham, who are said to have ‘facilitated’ his exit this summer, clearly wanting to get the player off their books.
