Borussia Dortmund’s Michael Zorc denies Felipe Melo link- Bundesliga news
Borussia Dortmund Sporting Director http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Felipe-Melo-c13535 from Italian giants Juventus. He claimed that there has been no contact with the player and the German champions
have no intentions to acquire the Brazilian international.
Die Borussen are looking to add experience to their young midfield. The departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251 to Real Madrid and Shinji Kagawa’s persistent injury problems have forced the club to buy another central midfield player.
Zorc played down rumours that Dortmund are interested in signing the midfielder and added that they have already done their business in the transfer window. He stated that the club is ready to defend the title in the next campaign
and have enough quality in the squad to challenge for silverware.
“I cannot say anything about such news. I can only give a clear denial,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
Melo, who reportedly wants an exit from the Turin giants, claimed that he had almost agreed terms with Brazilian side Sao Paulo but was surprised with another offer from a European club. He admitted that he could be staying in
Europe as it would be financially more viable for him.
The Brazilian international has also been linked with cash rich French side Paris Saint-Germain and Turkish giants Galatasaray. He is expected to join one of the two above mentioned clubs in this summer’s transfer window as an
exit from Juventus looks most certain.
“Everything was almost settled with Sao http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paulo-c29431, but then offers came from European clubs and one of them made me an offer which will increase my salary a lot. We are finalising details and it could all be completed in the next days,”
the player concluded.
Bianconeri signed Andrea Pirlo from AC Milan and are also in talks with Bayer Leverkusen midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arturo-Vidal-c6760 for a possible transfer. Melo is expected to warm the benches next season as the fore mentioned players will certainly
occupy the starting places in the centre of the park.
