Barça give Juventus the green light for Arthur

Although he has said time and time again that he has no intention of leaving, the coronavirus economic crisis means that world football and signings could be in for a change.

As 'Mundo Deportivo' published on Tuesday, Juventus have reportedly received the club's approval to star negotiating for Arthur Melo.

The former Gremio player is the one to follow in Barcelona, but Arthur believes that it deserves a raise, and Barça is not willing to offer it. 

Given the crisis derived from the pandemic, Barcelona will not be able to provide what the Brazilian wants, which is why they would allow him to go to another team. 

The Brazilian arrived with a low profile as a 21-year-old player who, despite his promise, still had everything to prove in Europe.

While Barça believes it could be time to make a new offer to the player, the crisis of the coronavirus makes it impossible. After all, if Ter Stegen's contract extension has not go through despite his status in the team, the situation with Arthur will not be different.

Although the Brazilian international is not about to leave, the Juventus offer, with the great tax advantages of Italy, could end up convincing him. In that case, Barça is expecting an offer for the player that will almost certainly include players and not cash.
