Now they have passed their medicals, the final touches need to be added to the contracts because the swap deal involving Barcelona and Juventus can be announced.

Barcelona fans' attention this Sunday was on both the RCDE Stadium and Turin. The fight for the La Liga title and swap deal involving Arthur and Pjanic were in play. Attentions first turned towards Italy where the Brazilian and the Bosnian completed a medical which, according to 'Marca', was completed in six hours.

The fact both were together at the same centre, J Medical, meant everything went slower than usual. In addition, it is worth pointing out that Pjanic did not travel to Barcelona, but a medical representative from Barca was there. That slowed everything down.

With that sorted out, now the details of the contracts are the only thing left to sort out. That includes when the two players will join their new clubs. That affects not only La Liga and Serie A, but also the Champions League as both clubs will be in action in that competition in August.

The official announcement will come on Tuesday at the latest when Barcelona and Juventus have to balance the books for the 2019-20 season by.
