Felipe Melo joined Fiorentina from Almeria for an 8 million transfer fee at the commencement of the season, a move that has certainly been beneficial for both player and club.
The Brazilian has gone on to become a highly respected player in his first few months with the Viola outfit, and in addition, his good form has seen him rewarded with a first international cap for his country.
As is the case with many others, the 25-year-olds consistency has resulted in him being linked to a number of Europes top clubs recently, including Juventus and Arsenal, two sides who have made their interest public.
According to Tuttomercatoweb however, the latest club to express an interest in the Brazilian are Ligue 1 champions, Lyon, however as it has been mentioned by an official of the club, the French side will have to see off other competition in order to get their man.
It wont be an easy task for Les Gones as they would have to part with 20 million to buy out Melo's contract.
