I really like Melo. His passning should be good enough for Barcelonas midfield. I think he could be a good choice if the first alternatives are impossible.

Due to very good Confederations cup games, I think Melo would cost at least 30 mil €. Fiorentina won't let him go easily as they are on verge on building a great squad and in few years should give a gd challenge on Scudetto if they continue on this course.
