The Sevilla has Brazilian Felipe Melo as one of the options to strengthen their midfield, according to the Turkish press. Melo, 31 years old, finished the season with two titles (the league and the Turkish cup) at Galatasaray and has one year left on his contract with the Turkish team. But he wants to leave for several reasons, including the criticism he receives from many rival fans.
According to Turkish press reports, Unai Emery has requested his signing. Emery knows Melo very well since he was the coach of Almeria. The Brazilian and the Basque coincided in the Andalusian team in the 2007-2008 season. The player's agent, José Rodríguez Baster, has not rejected any interest, although he must accept that Melo has one more year left on his contract with Galatasaray: above all, it is necessary to evaluate the player's situation together with the Bosphorus club.
