Palmeiras have announced the signing of midfielder Felipe Melo from Inter.
The 33-year-old, who has made only five Serie A appearances this season, has signed a three-year contract with the Brasileirao champions.
News of the former Juventus and Galatasaray midfielder's impending arrival prompted huge excitement among Palmeiras fans on social media and he admitted that such a reception was a real plus.
"I've been really amazed by the warmth of the crowd. It makes all the difference," Melo, a champion in Brazil with Cruzeiro in 2003, told Palmeiras' official website.
"I'm fulfilling a dream of returning to Brazil and at an age where I can run and do what I love the most without any major problems.
"I'm very honoured and thank God for this opportunity, to play for a club of the greatness of Palmeiras. It's a great honour to wear that shirt."
