Club officials in Istanbul have officially announced borrowing Turin midfielder Felipe Melo for another season.

For the loan for one year, the Turkish champions "Juve" laid down 1.75 million euros and will have to pay an additional 6.5 million if they decide to buy out the Brazilian's contract at the end of the season.

"Galatasaray" also announced that the midfielder will earn 2.9 million euros per year and will receive an additional 25,000 euros for each played match.

The 29-year-old player spent last season on loan at a club in Istanbul as well, for which this summer they failed to reach an agreement with "Juventus" regarding the final transfer fee of the player, so it was decided to sign another loan agreement.

Last year Melo played 36 official matches for "Galatasaray" and scored 12 goals.
