Some Inter fans, hearing the name of Felipe Melo, have turned their noses. The reason? His past with Juventus. La Gazzetta dello Sport explains: “Felipe Melo has exactly nothing from Juventus. If anything he left Juventus on bad terms (he was bought for 25 million and sold to Galatasaray for 8,5), regretting the fact that he didn’t wear Inter’s shirt. When he left Florence in 2009, in fact, many in the Inter dressing room, mainly Materazzi, tried to convince the directors to sign this Brazilian witht the perfect personality for the group which shortly thereafter with Mou would win everytjing.”
“In Gala Melo got to know Mancini and on Monday he crowned the dream of returning to work with one of his two favorite coaches. The other is Unai Emery, who he had at Almeria in 2007-08 and now is coaching Sevilla, a club that – as well as Cruzeiro and Flamengo – tried to persuade him in every way this summer. Melo, however, had promised Mancio in June, ready to cut his salary in half and for this he spent two months of hell, in fear that the deal would be abandoned.”
“Yesterday afternoon Mel landed at Malpensa and immediately went to sleep. In recent days he has hardly slept a wink, waiting for the happy ending.”
