Brazilian concentrating on World Cup

Felipe Melo's agent has insisted the Brazilian is focused solely on the World Cup rather than his club future. The midfielder has been linked with a move away from Juventus after a difficult first year with the club. Inter Milan have expressed an interest, while some impressive performances with his country in South Africa could attract more attention. It is unclear whether Melo figures in the plans of new Juve manager Luigi Del Neri, but if he is allowed to leave it will only be for a high price. "Now the player is in South Africa and is focused on the World Cup," the 27-year-old's representative Emiliano Froldi told streamit goleador. "The future? Juventus has changed leadership and is planning for the future." "Last year Felipe Melo cost 18million euros plus (Marco) Marchionni and (Cristiano) Zanetti, so I cannot say his exact cost. "Juventus will decide it."
