Gunners will get Melo - if they give Eboue to Fiorentina
Arsenal are the only club to have made a bid for Fiorentina star Felipe Melo, the Italian club announced today.
The Viola appear prepared to sell the Brazilian star with Emmanuel Eboue moving the other way as part of the deal.
Fiorentina transfer chief Pantaleo Corvino claims that Arsenal are the only club to have tabled an offer for Felipe Melo, who has a release clause of €25m, and suggests that Fiorentina are prepared to sell if Emmanuel Eboue is included as part of the exchange.
"The director points out that Arsenal FC are the only club that has come close to (Felipe Melo's] release clause," said a statement.
"Fiorentina, in turn, has proposed that the clubs reduce the amount of this clause by entering into negotiations the right back Eboue."
