Melo was officially unveiled as a Juve player on Wednesday, a week after the Bianconeri shelled out €25m for the Brazilian midfielder.

The 25-year-old, who has signed a five-year deal at the Stadio Olimpico, has vowed to propel Juve to glory.

"I am here to work hard and to improve still further,'' he said. "Am I similar to Dunga or Emerson? They were champions and won so much. Only when I have also won like them can I be compared to them.

"I am a happy man today because I have arrived at a huge club who immediately made me feel important and with whom I have the possibility of playing to win the Scudetto and the Champions League. This is a club that can win everything.''

Melo is Juve's third summer signing, after Diego and Fabio Cannavaro, as the Bianconeri build a team to challenge four-time reigning champions Inter Milan.

Inter are currently dominating the headlines as they try and negotiate a swap deal involving Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o.

And Melo believes if the deal comes about it could be to the benefit of Inter's rivals.

"With or without Ibrahimovic they will remain very strong,'' he added. "But we have to think only about ourselves and do our own work, showing the true worth of Juventus. Ibra is more dangerous than Eto'o, who is a great footballer, but Ibra is better.''
