Melo to Arsenal is still possible as Fiorentina admit negotiations are taking place

Fiorentina thought they had tied wanted midfielder Felipe Melo’s future to the club but the contract extension seems to have proved of no use as according to their transfer chief Pantaleo Corvino, negotiations are taking place with Arsenal.

Here is the statement that appeared on the Italian club’s official website:

“The director [Corvino] points out that Arsenal FC are the only club that has come close to [Felipe Melo’s] release clause.

“Fiorentina, in turn, has proposed that the clubs reduce the amount of this clause by entering into negotiations the right back Eboue.”

It would be nice if Melo is bought as we desperately need a holding midfielder. But if it is a swap deal involving Eboue, I surely will not be pleased at all. Eboue is our only good enough back up right back and that is his best position as well. Arsenal need him and I don’t think he should be sold unless an adequate replacement is bought. Again, lets wait and see what happens. I am sure Arsene Wenger would not be eager to let Eboue go.

Fabregas visits “Campus Cesc” (+Photos)

Cesc Fabregas went to visit a summer camp a couple of days back at the Arenys de Mar sports facility in Spain. The camp is called “Campus Cesc” and will take place on the 4th of July.

Fabregas went there with one of his best friends Gerard Pique. The two had gone there for a ‘meet and greet session’ where fans and the kids who will be attending the camp tommorow got to ask Cesc questions.

One of the questions the Arsenal captain was asked was why does he not want to join Barcelona. Fabregas replied: “I would like to, but I have a contract with Arsenal and it is necessary to respect it.”

Another kid asked Cesc whether he will be staying at Arsenal or not to which he replied: “I am the captain, and rest assured, I will continue at Arsenal.”

Fabregas also took some time out to sign autographs for his fans.

Here are a few photos of the outing:
