In demand Fiorentina midfielder Felipe Melo has moved to end speculation surrounding his future by signing a one-year contract extension at the Artemio Franchi.
The Brazil international, who joined Fiorentina in a €8 million switch from Spanish side Almería last summer, has been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Barcelona and Inter Milan.
