Arsenal target Felipe Melo has signed a new 1 year contract extension with current club Fiorentina, this could mean one of two things;
- He intends to stay at Fiorentina, or
- They are trying to squeeze as much money as possible out of the deal
The official statement:
“Fiorentina announces that its sporting director Pantaleo Corvino met in Milan with Felipe Melo’s agent and an agreement was reached to extend the player’s contract until 2013 with a buy-out clause also included,” read a statement from the club. Now i don’t know exactly what this means as far as Melo coming to Arsenal is concerned but i know that he is the ‘high priority’ signing in Wenger’s plans but if he can’t get him i’m sure he has one or two alternatives in mind.
We have also been linked with Stuttgart’s Serdar Tasci He says;
“I have the ambition to move clubs one day, but the time and circumstances have to be right for me,” he told spox.com.
“I have to admit I’m flattered that clubs like Arsenal, AC Milan and Juventus have had their eye on me in the past.
“But I’m not getting carried away with this. I’m focused on Stuttgart and looking to return to action following my knee injury.”
Tasci is also looking ahead to the champions league qualifiers where ofcourse he could play against Arsenal for stuttgart.
He said: “I’d love to play in the Champions League this season. We’ll have to show up in qualifying of course, but I don’t mind who we play.
“We want to advance to the group stages. We might be paired with Arsenal, but we can beat them as well.”
The german media has recently reported that Arsenal have opened negotiations with stuttgart but we’ll see hopefully the next couple of weeks will see some new additions to the squad.
William Gallas could still be at Arsenal next season after stating that he is happy at Arsenal and intends to see out his contract Gallas told skysports.com: “I am at Arsenal, my contract is still valid for a year, so I am an Arsenal player.
“We have not talked about renewing the contract, but I am relaxed and looking forward to next season with Arsenal.”
