Felipe Melo wanted Inter very strongly. The renewal of his contract with Galatasaray was a move to calm a restless environment as the midfielder is an idol of the fans, but to the Turkish leaders the former midfielder of Fiorentina and Juventus has always said that he wanted to leave Istanbul, even after the extension of the contract. Behind his choice there are family reasons: He likes Milan and in the past he has been photographed in town shopping with his wife. The Brazilian, as reported by Il Corriere dello Sport, supposedly said to the leaders of Inter that: “Now I am happy. I wanted to return to Italy and work with Mancini again. We’ll have a great year.” There was also a contact between the player and the Inter coach who will meet at Pinetina tomorrow. It remains to be seen if his debut will be in the friendly against Lecco: Melo’s preseason has been rather difficult and he is not in top form.
