    Mission impossible: to sell Melo.

    • G.M.

    "Juventus need to buy real champions to get back on top. We had a limited team. And the fans knew it. There were two or three players who were critized by the fans because  they did not perform as expected on the pitch. And some are not good enough for Juventus, they cannot be useful to win the Scudetto". According to Felipe Melo.

    Those in the know say that these comments made in Brazil, annoyed both the club and the coach Antonio Conte, who said in a press conference speaking of Del Piero and Buffon: "I expect them to make no mistakes, neither with their behaviour nor in the way they speak to the media". If this goes for two world champions, then it surely applies to the Brazilian midfielder...

    Melo's behaviour is increasing Agnelli's Marotta's and Paratici's conviction that he should be transferred.

    But here is the problem. Juventus will hardly get back the 25 million spent in 2009 buying him from. So an exchange with Lassana Diarra of Real Madrid or with Gael Clichy of Arsenal could be a solution .

    Melo's favourite destination would be England, as he said in May to Promoesport Bcn, which looks after the player's interest. Now it's up to Marotta to find him a place in the Premier League, even if today the task seems difficult if not impossible.
