Felipe Melo not planning Juventus return

Felipe Melo has insisted that he has no intention of returning to Juventus once his loan spell with Galatasaray expires in the summer.

The Brazilian international joined the Turkish club in the summer, having been told he was surplus to requirements at Juve.

"When I played at Juventus, I had a fixed position. When we play the 4-4-2 system at Galatasaray this gives me more freedom to attack and because of this I have discovered a hidden talent of mine," he is reported as saying by Milliyet.

"We are in fact in very good form in the league, but we must beware. I am happy with [Galatasaray] and I am not planning to leave.

"Even if we do not become champions, I'm not planning to return to Juventus."

Gala currently top the Turkish league by six points.
