Inter complete swoop for Galatasaray duo

 

Inter have completed a deal to sign Galatasaray duo Felipe Melo and Alex Telles, the Nerazzurri has announced.

 

Melo, 32, has put pen to paper on a two-year deal with the club, completing a deal worth £2.6m.

 

Inter’s have been chasing Melo’s signature all summer but appeared to have lost out when the former Brazil international penned a new three-year deal at Galatasaray earlier this month.

 

Roberto Mancini has also strengthened the left side of his defence by recruiting Chelsea target Telles on a season-long loan deal with a view to make the deal permanent next summer.

Telles, 22, preferred position is left-back, but the Brazilian can also play further up the pitch, which is an area Mancini has been looking to strengthen this summer.
