Juve, why Felipe Melo is "on sale"?
Felipe Melo has not been transferred yet, but in practice he's not a Juventus player anymore. Together with Amauri, he's been invited to leave the training camp in Bardonecchia, and everybody thought he had been already transferred to another club. But this is not true.
The rumors about his return to Brazil (Santos or Corinthians) have not been confirmed and today is the last day in the Brazilian market. What's going to happen then? Felipe Melo is out of the team but Juventus are still paying his salary. A situation that is going to have an effect on the market, because the player's cost is now much lower. This is another "masterpiece" by Beppe Marotta...
Melo was acquired two years ago for 25 million euro. His performance has been disappointing but the Brazilian midfielder, 28, is physically strong and plays for his national team. The fact that he didn't perform at Juve doesn't necessarily mean that he's a failure, although his transfer, now that Juventus have Pirlo, Pazienza and probably Vidal, is comprehensible. For sure, Juventus would make a mistake if they put the player "on sale", but there is no other option at the moment...
