Vitor Hugo had been close to Besiktas, but now it’s reported the Fiorentina defender is heading back to Palmeiras for €5.5m.

The 28-year-old had made the move to Florence for €8m in the summer of 2017 and never quite flourished in the Viola jersey.

He had been in advanced talks for a transfer to Besiktas, but was unconvinced by the idea of playing in Turkey.

According to Sky Sport Italia, when an offer came in from his old club Palmeiras, it was an easy decision.
