Fiorentina have signed Brazilian defender Felipe from Serie A rivals Udinese.

The 25-year-old has been allowed to move on after slipping down the pecking order at the Stadio Friuli this season.

Felipe has joined the Florence club on an initial loan basis until the end of the season before a possible permanent transfer in the summer.

"Fiorentina would like to communicate that Da Silva Dalbelo Felipe has been acquired on a loan basis from Udinese with the option to sign him permanently," read a club statement.

"The player will be presented on Monday at the Stadio Franchi."
