Palmeiras sport director Alexandre Mattos spoke highly off new acquisition Felipe Melo, who arrived from Inter last week, at his official unveiling: “His career speaks for itself. He is part of a group of Brazilian players who are in Europe for more than a decade, and there you wonder if he was respected in Spain, Italy, Turkey and Brazil. He was also part of the team that played the World Cup. Palmeiras made every effort to get him here.”
