Negotiations for Melo not began yet
By Randy Osae
Fiorentina is very open to the sale of Felipe Melo to Arsenal, but both parties are yet to sit around the table.
The Italian side issued a statement today confirming the 25-year-old’s current contract holds a €25million (£21.4m) buy-out clause and it would be ideal to do business with any interested club.
Fiorentina Director Pantaleo Corvino would prefer Emmanuel Eboue as an inclusion is a swap deal which may also see Arsenal pay an additional sum.
But it appears all agreements being made between AFC Fiorentina and Arsenal FC are only verbal.
Therefore, Melo’s representative, Jose Rodriguez Baster, stresses that no negotiations have began between the two clubs and as it remains, Melo – the object of purchase – will not become a ’sold item in the shop’.
He may be Arsenal-bound, but Melo’s move is far from finalized. Paper works will have to begin first.
Baster said: “We are not negotiating with any club, if a team is interested in the player they must first find an agreement with Fiorentina,”
“There is much talk about Felipe because he has enjoyed a great season. But we are not dealing with any club.”

Cheers GunnerTom…but what an animal this guys is.
lsten Randy……..jus giv us an answer…wat the matter wit u…u used 2 b cool man….
Ok man. I live very far away from the Emirates (different continent to be honest). Never been there before.
But I will suggest you go on Sunday. Reason?
It is the day the trophy is handed and whether Arsenal is playing first or not, you will find the players at the stadium whether playing or awaiting in the stands (unlike Satuday when one team plays and leaves or you come too early/late for the other who may be hurrying to get on the pitch)
But the fact is, the players are often around the stadium anyways on both days.
tkng the gfdrnd down the pub – will u plz giv me some advice on which day 2 go becaus i want to get lucky…..not just titty fumbles… friday or saturday thx.
WTF?? is this a spam fest or what?
OK I have given you too much lineancy, this is fuckin it!!!
If melo signs, that’s the end for one of song, denilson or diaby. Arsene is bound to go for the ‘develop-one-the-young-players-into-the-DF-role’ approach rather than spend big. with rosicky, cesc, nasri, arshavin, RVP and theo all fit, we’ll be in with a real shout for the premiership
thx alot randy…really appreciate it too…srry i jus suspected u wer english…m not myself either lol…well thx anyway Randy.
Cheers! But are you in anyway related to ‘mjc’ (guy who commented above)?
I will suspect so since you both type text similarly.
no m not Randy…I dnt what the fool is on about…that aint even arsenal related! lol….so 2 answer ur question..no i din post tha..
Regarding arsenal i really do hope melo signs as he is an absolute tank..and is jus wha we need.
Well if you simply used your brain, you would know to go when the premierleague starts. Simple as really.
ehh john…u hav 2 b a member 2 get epl matches..and i aint fukin payin fr it if i dnt even live in d country..softboy
I’ll give you an exclusive right now!!
Arsenal offered 8m plus Senderos, Melo made it clear he wanted to leave, Fiorentina didn’t think it was enough and have since asked Melo to remain loyal (in a sense of signing a new contract to put the get out fee at a lot higher than it previously was) he signed a year extension and got approx half a mill signing on fee, now the get out fee is higher arsenal have had to offer more cash and are trying to throw in Eboue as part of the deal which Firoentina are not interested in as they have other targets to replace Melo, namely Veloso…Expect Arsenal to complete the signing tail end of next week.
dangerous – Shut the fuck up dude…”exclusive”?
Phobia, whats your problem! Chill out DUDE! Like wooa man, Prick.
You’ll be apologising next week
theres only 1 eboue says i aint leavin arsenal
‘dangerman’ i hope you are right!
Emmanuel Eboue just went past my front window on his bike!
dangerous, at least back what you said by naming or telling us your sources?
It’s just utter rubbish John. No need to research whether Melo is Arsenal bound or not. We know it.
@gunnergunnergunner
For a person asking for advice you are sure a cocky peice of shit.
Tickets go on General sale on arsenal.com – Like the emirates cup, tickets are on general sale.
Smart ass.
we’re gonna have too many plyers getting frustrated bout playin time and starts.
if we’re gonna sign, we have to start sellin too. but our mid is good for now, with rosicky comin back (hopefully he’ll readapt quickly), walcott, fabregas, nasri, arshavin.. it’s dangerous to sign another mf. Randy, what do you think?
and btw in attack i’m for keeping rvp and ade.
