Juventus appear close to completing another high-profile capture from La Liga after the club announced that they are near to completing a €80 million deal to bring Brazilian international Arthur to Turin from Barcelona.
Juventus announced on Tuesday that they have agreed terms with Barcelona to sign the 23-year-old midfielder, despite the player stating last month that he wasn’t keen on a move away from Catalonia.
However, money very much talks when it comes to top-level sport after Juve coach Sarri identified the 20-times capped international as being the ideal creative fulcrum for the style of play favoured by the Italian coach – with Arthur seen as having a similar skillset to that of Jorginho, whom Sarri coached at both Napoli and Chelsea.
