Much in demand Fiorentina midfielder Felipe Melo has put pen to paper on a lucrative contract extension.
The 25-year-old, who played a crucial role in Brazil's Confederations Cup victory, has been linked with Arsenal, Barcelona and Italian champions Inter.
“Fiorentina's director of sport, Pantaleo Corvino, today met with the agent of Viola central midfielder Felipe Melo in Milan,” read a statement on the club's website.
“On this occasion, details of an agreement for the extension of Melo's contract until 2013 with a buyout clause were defined.”
The Italian Press believe the buyout clause specified is worth around £20m.
Melo joined Fiorentina from Almeria last summer.
He made 29 appearances for the Viola in Serie A and was sent off twice.
