Felipe Melo deal not complete

8 Jul 2009


Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli insists the signing of reported Arsenal target Felipe Melo is not yet a done deal.

The Turin giants are on the verge of acquiring the 25-year-old Brazilian star in a £21million transfer from Fiorentina.

"Melo is not yet a Juve player," said Cobolli Gigli to Gazzetta dello Sport. "The negotiations are still ongoing.

"We still need to define certain terms to officially confirm his signing."

Melo arrived in Florence from Spanish side Almeria last summer in a £7million transfer.

He is contracted to Fiorentina until 2013 and is expected to pen a five-year deal with the Turin side.
