Arthur Melo may have been forgotten by many Juventus fans, but he remains a player on the club’s books and is still considered one of the top talents within their squad.
The Brazilian’s contract does not expire until the end of the upcoming season, and Gremio were unable to reach an agreement to keep him permanently after his loan spell at the club.
Arthur was a player Juventus had high expectations for when they completed his swap deal with Miralem Pjanic, but both players struggled to justify their moves and failed to reach the levels expected at their new clubs.
Juventus look to move Arthur on
-------------------------------
The midfielder has not played for Juventus since the end of the 2021/2022 season and has spent the following campaigns away from Turin on loan spells with teams such as Liverpool, Fiorentina and Girona.
Juventus are keen for him to leave, but Arthur continues to represent a financial concern for the club. According to [Tuttomercatoweb](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/juventus/?action=read&idnet=dHV0dG9qdXZlLmNvbS03ODUxMTM), the Brazilian is still valued at around 6.5m euros.
That is the fee Juventus are seeking if they decide to sell him during this transfer window. Following his loan spell at Gremio, there is hope that Arthur can attract a buyer at that price, although there remains a possibility that a suitable agreement cannot be reached.
Limited options create uncertainty
----------------------------------
Arthur does not currently have many suitors, which could make it difficult for Juventus to complete a permanent transfer. Clubs in the Brazilian top flight may also struggle to match the wages he currently earns as a Juventus player.
The situation leaves the Bianconeri needing to find a solution before the transfer window closes. While Juventus would like to recover part of their investment in the midfielder, finding a club willing to meet both the valuation and wage demands could prove challenging.
Arthur’s future remains uncertain, and Juventus will continue searching for an opportunity to part ways with the player. A successful transfer would allow the club to reduce their commitments and focus on other areas of the squad, but they may have to be patient to find the right destination.
