Melo set for Juve exit
Brazil midfielder Felipe Melo has announced he is close to leaving Juventus.
Melo had been strongly linked with a return to his homeland with Sao Paolo among the clubs keen to acquire his services.
However, the 28-year-old has confirmed he will continue playing in Europe.
“I had already chosen the place to live in Brazil,” said Melo. “I know that at Sao Paolo I would have been treated with a lot of affection.
“However, I have received an offer from a European club that greatly increases my salary. Now we are finalising the details and over the next few days all will be completed.”
Melo, who is under contract with Juve until June 2014, has been a reported target of Paris Saint-Germain and Galatasaray.
