After spending a year and a half playing in Cyprus, Melluso worked on securing his departure to return to a more familiar league. Despite there being interest from Lanús and other regional teams, Melluso adjusted his expectations to facilitate a return to Gimnasia, the club where he grew up. It is anticipated that he will arrive shortly. In the final days before the transfer window closed, Melluso, who has been a lifelong fan of Gimnasia and was nurtured in their ranks, prioritized his emotional connection with the club over financial benefits. His decision to return was finalized just as Gimnasia completed key negotiations, ensuring his timely return alongside another new signing, Pedro Silva. Both players are expected to join the team within hours of each other as the club prepares for the upcoming competition.
