Felipe Melo to Inter is very close to become a done deal. The Brasilian midfielder is very close to join the club because of the last few steps forward being done during the last few hours, this also because Galatasaray seems to be ready to accept the deal on Inter’s demands.
Gazzetta dello sport reports that the Turkish club has agreed to let the midfielder leave for free by resolving his expiring contract. Though the Gazzetta also reports that it’s not Inter that wants more time to make more space in the team and on the wage list.
Melo could join Inter very soon, meanwhile Galatasaray’s president confirmed their concrete interest in signing Gary Medel. Inter wants 10 million euro’s for the midfielder and the Turks are also interested in signing Yuto Nagatomo.

If they buy 2 players it would be a good deal
If this garbage join to us i hope in a first match broke his leg!
1) Sell Medel for 10mil 2) Buy Perisic for 20mil 3) Get Melo for free and put him in the starting 11 4) feel good and happy about it, feel da hype baby 5) Get rekt, let the whole europe laugh at the way you doing business 6) Get face f***ed by the fans 7) 6)
say what? say whattttttttt? 10mill for A BEAST and the best pedigree pitbull across the Europe? Jesus! If they dont want to pay more, sell him to niggas in Brooklyn for Christs sake, they will even overpay, no problem! P.s. i woud never consider selling this guy, for sure not this summer, i like him very much and i would use him with Kond. in a starting line-up, but if i would have to, i would never sell him for less then 15mil tbh!
Nagatomo and Medel for 20 million.
and take Dodo as a summer sale gift!
i dont know to laugh or cry…XD what a monster player we are link to? melo? XD
Maybe they are willing to give us Melo for free in order to get Medel. If so,we should sell Medel for 12 but only if they are willing to accept Nagatomo too (4 mil.).
that sounds good, we bag 16mil and get a player for free. Hopefully we offload Shaq too for 17mil. That’s 23mil right there! Sell D’ambrosio for 5 mil.. 27mil now we’re talking!
Just enough to pickup both Vrsaljko AND Bruno Peres. Forget Perisic if his club are gonna be such douchebags (he’s worth 17mil max), sign Cassano on a free! 😀
we got Medel for 8-9 million, he’s one of the best players last season, he also had great copa america campaign, and now we only want to sold him for 10 millions?
only 1-2 millions profit which barely cover the salary itself, surely we know how to do business LOL
Hes almost 30… last time to cash in and mancio is gonna ditch the dmf tactic. 2 cm and a regista. No room for gary
As per usual I disagree with you. First of Medel turn 28 yesterday. Second he is our best defensive mid by far. Versatile as well. And with this deal we are making almost no profit. No way we are selling him.
medel is an overpriced gargano. hes not top club material. the choice is medel or kovacic as cdm/regista, and kova should get the spot for development. this is his year!
the choice of register removes the need for a destroyer, thus medel is not needed (luckily). condo is perfect. melo has passing (long+short, medel only short), tackling and experience. either you like it or not he brings attitude and winner mentality. that is what is needed. nobody likes him, but results is what counts – at least for me..
€10m is “cheap” though. €12-15m is ok. imbula would have been perfect for the right mid. a paulinho type of player is needed. i hope brozo can improve this season, or if guarin can be the player he should be with his skills, i.e. stop shooting and defend better.
fun fact: medel is valued at €7m. no superstar is valued lower than the price of schelotto! (€8m?)
Thank you very much!
I for one like Melo, we need that type of player. I feel too many interisti only remember his short time at Rube and not Fiorentina/Gala.
I agree 15mil minimum on Medel because we need to cash in on him ASAP.
I have a feeling our mid will be kdog-kova-guaro with kdog+kova doing box to box hard running (with brozo chipping in). Melo will provide competition to kova and will be introduced when we need more solidty based on how the game is panning out/tactics. (ie seal a 1-0 bring on Melo, or game tied 0-0 when Melo started, bring on Kova)
Fun fact, schelotto isn’t as crap as everybody thinks. He was given no time to adjust and had proved on multiple occasions he is decisive in Serie A, would make a great squad player and even a RB! Has heart and ha sitalian passport too… and he’s free! Not a star but a useful averag-ish player
fair points throughout your answer. good analysis on melo. i thought he would play at guarin´s spot, but what you said is very likely. only bad thing with melo is potential disruption of a good locker-room, but he´s very needed to raise aggressiveness and work-ethics.
true let’s hope it pays off and we also score some $!
You want to disagree with me because you refuse to open your mind my friend. We’re not gonna play with defensive mids, do you not see that? Versatile? He does the same thing nomatter where you play him: hard running, simple passing and poor positioning. He’s a workhorse that can plays DMF or CB, Ranocchia is more versatile!
We bought him for what 10 mil? we sell him for 15/18 and get Melo for cover for the same salary? That’s pretty good especially since Melo can actually distribute the ball and has vision. Not to mention Melo actually is tactically aware. Don’t judge Melo on his short time with Rube, judge him based on his time with Fiorentina/Gala.
then why the fakk he wanted melo? backup with 3M salary?
Melo to replace Medel, Melo is a smarter player. Medel with not leave for under 15mil, if we get Melo + 12mil it’s actally pretty good business. We used him for a year, made 2 mil and got a smarter player in return.
