THE PAULO MARI TRANSFER S NOT DONE OR DUSTED BUT IT IS NEITHER DEAD AND BURIED.

Arsenal were trying to sign up the Spanish central defender who is playing his club football in Brazil with Flemengo. Actually Flemengo and Arsenal had reached an agreement , and the Arsenal sporting director Edu , personally went to brazil for finalizing the transfer deal. Now Flemengo anted 7.5 seven and a half million pounds to sign up Paulo Mari, which Arsenal had agreed to. But the president of Flemengo, said Arsenal changed to transfer deal , and now Paulo Mari as gone back to Brazil. The real problem here was that Arsenal wanted to take Paulo Mari on a year long loan deal, with the idea of buying him for seven and a half million pounds. But Flemengo wanted a out right sale here. So now the deal is not a done and dusted deal , and neither is it a dead and buried deal, as both parties are still talking, now Flemengo want more then seven and a half million pounds. Arsenal are not keen to make a permanent deal for Paulo Mari, the reason being Arsenal fear that the Spaniard may not adept to the English Premier League, due to it being a fast and physical game, many coming to England do not settle right away.
