The soap opera Arthur Melo will experience a new chapter this Friday: the Brazilian midfielder plans to return to Barcelona with the aim of solving his current situation and definitively closing his contractual agreement with the Catalan club.
However, in Barcelona it seems that they are not going to make it easy for him. To begin with, they have already communicated both to him and to his environment that he will not be able to join training sessions with his teammates.. First, he will have to undergo a PCR test that certifies that he is not positive for coronavirus and second, he will have to meet with the club's senior staff – President Josep Maria Bartomeu and CEO, Oscar Grau- to give the appropriate explanations about his decision to abandon club discipline in the pre-match against Alavés and unilaterally leave for Brazil.
Also, The club has also emphasized that it is in an open file situation due to a very serious offense., reason why it would have to also assume a possible economic sanction.
After passing the PCR test and meeting with those responsible for the club, the next step is still to be decided. Arthur's intention is to terminate his contract amicably, but right now it cannot be ruled out even if he rejoins the team next week if the team finally qualifies for the Champions League final.
In any case, from the environment of the player it is ensured that he comes with the idea of lowering the tension and looking for a favorable solution for all parties. The problem is that, with his unwarranted act of two weeks ago, he has only managed to get everyone to point him out as an unprofessional player. A highly inadvisable label if you want to succeed at your next club: Juventus.
