Arsenal will not acquire Felipe Melo, neither will Emmanuel Eboue opt for a switch to Fiorentina. What has been published on the Fiorentina website is another sign of botched transfer negotiations with a club from the Peninsula, a lack of local knowledge.
When you propose a transfer in Italy, you need to have the deal sorted out within 2-3 days maximum before it collapses, the Italians are not ones for drama and saga's, you either put your money where your mouth is, or you are publicly shamed as not being professional enough to conclude a deal.
Arsenal witnessed this with Inler last season, then again they did not have a sporting director and relied on the trainer to do it himself, Arsenal seem to have made the same error again, they made tentative noises in December, they had from May 24 to conclude a deal and were unable to do it. Much maligned Juventus sporting director Alessio Secco seems to have learned from his errors, and has swooped in promptly to get his recruits, Diego-Cannavaro, and he has botched the D'Agostino deal by stretching it for over 3 weeks. It seems this is the same error Arsenal have made.
Juventus have signed Felipe Melo, and he will be presented as a Bianconeri player next week, and they have already begun printing Melo-4 as his squad number.

And so Felipe Melo completes his transfer, and he is assigned the number 4 shirt. In his interview, he said he had no ambition on leaving Italy, which makes you wonder why arsenal even persisted with him in the first place to the extent of having a meeting with Corvino.
You must approach the player first then the club second.
