Arsenal target Felipe Melo revealed he doesn’t want to leave the Serie A as he owes the Viola a lot after his first year as regular.

He told Lancenet.com.br:

I come back to Italy when I end my holidays. I have a contract with Fiorentina in which it was written that should I have a good first season, the club would have the possibility to extend my contract automatically from five to six years.

They utilised this clause and I am really happy. I owe Fiorentina a lot. I arrived and I immediately became a regular. I have never been on the bench.
