Galatasaray denied reports Inter could send Felipe Melo back for a discount on Alex Telles. “Other clubs want Telles.”
The pair arrived at San Siro simultaneously on transfer deadline day, but while Melo is on loan with mandatory option to buy, the full-back’s €8.5m option is discretionary.
“It is not true that Felipe Melo could return in exchange for a discount on Telles,” Galatasaray director of sport Cenk Ergun told fcinternews.it.

“It is not true that Felipe Melo could return in exchange for a discount on Telles,” Galatasaray director of sport Cenk Ergun told fcinternews.it.
“For the latter it is a completely separate discussion. The figure for Telles is €8.5m and we are not prepared to lower it.
“I can confirm we have received other offers for the player. More than one club has contacted us for Alex, but I cannot reveal their names. In any case, soon we will meet with Inter directors to talk about the situation.
“Could Melo return anyway? I don’t know and that is because we haven’t yet planned out our future project.”
It’s reported the main side interested in taking Telles is Paris Saint-Germain.
