Arsenal does not give up: they want to sign Arthur now. The player welcomes leaving Juventus despite having more prominence in recent weeks, and hopes that the club will give him the go-ahead before January 31. The former Barça player immediately had a great feeling in the first contacts with Arteta, whose football seems perfect for his characteristics. With the Gunners he would have an untouchable starting role that Juve cannot give him: a decisive condition, in the year of the World Cup.
Allegri, however, did not change his stance, just like in the case of Morata. Without a high-level replacement, he won’t approve of the midfielder’s sale.
Arsenal insists and the Turinese, then, let him know that they will only change their plans in the face of an important proposal, which cannot be the transfer until June that they have spoken about until now. In order to intervene in the market, Juve asks for a purchase obligation or, at least, a longer assignment, of a year and a half.
Freeing himself in the long term from the Brazilian’s salary (which exceeds 5 million net), the Italians could try to sign Denis Zakaria, whose contract ends in June with Mönchengladbach. Without these conditions, Juve would not let the Brazilian go. Arsenal wants to make Arteta happy and is considering improving its offer soon: the contacts continue.
