There have been a lot of Arsenal transfer rumours linking the Gunners with the Brazilian midfielder Felipe Melo since Juventus admitted they were prepared to listen to offers, but lately they are also saying that Gael Clichy could become part of the deal.
TuttuSport say that Arsenal have made a firm offer to make a straight swap, but as Juventus paid £24m for Melo just last summer, they are more likely to want a lump sum of cash as well as the French defender to recoup some of their losses.
Melo may well have had an awful season in Serie A last year, and has publicly fallen foul of the Juventus fans on more than one occasion, but is Clichy worth as much as Melo?
The 24 year-old Frenchman had a couple of injuries last season, but still made 32 appearances, and has now been a first-team regular for the last three years. Wenger said that the team needed a complete defensive shake-up this summer, but should Clichy be allowed to leave to clinch a deal for Melo?
