Since then, she has shown to have a game profile very similar to that taught to the youth of the. Masia since they were little, although their lack of regularity and continuity have not allowed them to establish themselves as the starter.
Perhaps because of this and the presence of other projection players in the center of the field such as Frenkie de Jong The Riqui Puig, Barça did not consider the Brazilian untouchable. Given the club’s need to balance the balance sheet before the end of this financial year and due to Juventus’ interest in signing him, his transfer will be certified: the Brazilian will go to Turin and, in exchange, Barça will have Miralem Pjanic and 10 million euros more in their coffers.

In the press conference before the match against Celta, The Cantabrian coach dropped that the Brazilian never came to fruition at Barça. “He is not the first player to sign with expectations that in the end do not bear fruit. I do not know if it will happen with Arthur but it will happen to many players. There will be fans who see a good opportunity for the club and another who will think that it is better to stay “he commented.
The Santanderian even hinted that Arthur lacks game speed. “Perhaps he has lacked continuity but sometimes it is not easy to change things about a footballer. Things that other coaches have told him he does very well. Here we have told him that he has to play two touches, but he is to protect the ball “he assured, in statements that would have bothered the Brazilian midfielder.
Arthur would contemplate planting
According to the previously mentioned media, despite the fact that Arthur will not join the discipline of Maurizio Sarri until it ends LaLiga, he would be considering not playing with the FC Barcelona shirt anymore due to how annoying he feels with the club and his coach.
