“FC Barcelona and Gremio Porto Alegre have reached an agreement on an option to buy for Arthur. If this is activated in summer 2018, the transfer will cost 30 million euros plus 9 million bonuses ”, proudly announced the blaugrana stable on February 11, 2018. A few weeks later, on July 6, 2018, the residents of Camp Nou exercised this famous option and formalized its arrival for six years, that is, until June 2024. But the middle of Brazilian field will not go to the end of his contract with Barça.
Indeed, for several weeks now, his name has been insisted on the departures department. Juventus, very interested in its profile, tried several approaches. FC Barcelona, which must find 70 million before June 30, was not against the idea. On the other hand, the 23-year-old player was not necessarily open to a start. But his position has changed over the weeks. And that’s how he agreed to join the Old Lady, after only two years spent in the Catalan city.
“FC Barcelona and Juventus FC have reached an agreement for the transfer of player Arthur Melo. The Italian club will pay 72 million euros, plus 10 million euros variable. The player will remain at FC Barcelona until the end of the official competitions for the 2019/20 season », can be read on the press release published on the FC Barcelona website. Which clearly makes Barça business. For his part, Arthur Melo made a new start, he who failed to establish himself as a potential holder in Barcelona. A club dear to his heart and where he notably won the title of champion of Spain in 2019.
