After playing five minutes in the 2-2 draw of Barcelona against Celta in Vigo, the still player of the Catalan team Arthur Melo, 23, traveled to Turin to pass the rigorous medical exams before becoming a new member of Juventus for the next five seasons. But just as one arrives, another leaves. Bosnian Miralem Pjanic will pack his bags to go to the Catalan city, in what means a barter between clubs.
According to the journalist Romeo Agresti, the Brazilian midfielder, who arrived in Italy with his father, brother and his lawyer, must pass the medical tests this Sunday. With Arthur, a doctor from the Catalan team also traveled to take advantage and take Pjanic’s exam.
According to the Italian press, the Pjanic-Arthur exchange formula is: 80 million euros would be paid by the Turin club for the Brazilian, while the Barcelona entity would pay for the Bosnian 70 million, plus another 5 in variables according to some objectives.
The only thing left to be defined was whether Arthur would return to Barcelona to play the Champions League or end his contract on June 30.
