Serbia forward Ljajic arrives at San Siro on loan from Serie A rivals Roma for the rest of the season with an option to make the deal permanent.

Experienced midfielder Melo joined Roberto Mancini's side from Galatasaray in a permanent switch, while left-back Telles departed the Turkish giants to join Inter initially on loan.

Playmaker Hernanes joined champions Juve on a three-year deal for 11million in a hectic end to the transfer window.

Ljajic came on as a late substitute in Roma's 2-1 victory over champions Juventus on Saturday, but will now spend the remainder of the campaign with Inter and could stay on a long-term basis for a fee of 11million.

No details were given over Melo's move to Inter, but the 32-year-old Brazilian - who played under Manici in Istanbul - has reportedly cost 3.5million.

Former Brazil international Melo spent spells with Fiorentina and returns to Serie A four years after initially moving to Turkey on loan.

Inter have the option of securing a permanent deal for 22-year-old full-back Telles, who also played under Mancini at Galatasaray.Inter president Erick Thohir said: "We would like to welcome our three new signings " Felipe Melo, Alex Telles and Adem Ljajic " to the club."I'm sure that Felipe Melo will further strengthen our midfield options with his physical prowess and battling qualities. Roberto Mancini knows him very well and will be able to harness his technical ability, combative spirit and experience."Telles will add quality and youth to our side. He's a young, pacy full-back " a good fit for our squad " and he'll be able to lend us a big hand with his offensive and defensive ability."Ljajic knows Serie A very well and that will help him slot into our squad easily. With his attacking skills and determined approach, he has what it takes to perform at the highest level and I'm sure he will do that at Inter."Welcome aboard and Forza Inter!"
