Felipe Melo bound for Sevilla?

Sevilla are reportedly close to completing the signing of Felipe Melo.

The former Brazil international is due to become a free agent at the end of the month when his contract with Galatasaray expires.

That has attracted the attention of Europa League winners Sevilla, who have offered the holding midfielder a three-year deal, according to Turkish outlet Milliyet.

Should the move be concluded, it would see Melo reunited with head coach Unai Emery, with the pair having previously worked together at Almeria during the 2007-08 campaign.
