Juventus are keen on signing Barcelona midfielder Arthur as Maurizio Sarri seeks to solve the Serie A leaders' midfield issues.
The Brazilian joined the Catalans from Gremio back in 2018 and has made 67 appearances in all competitions for the club, with Barca viewing him as an important part of their first-team setup.
Goal can confirm that they would, however, be open to selling the 23-year-old should the right offer arrive, with contact having been made between both clubs in the last few weeks.
Indeed, Aaron Ramsey has been Juve's top-scoring midfielder with four goals although he has yet to fully convince Sarri that he is the long-term solution, prompting the Bianconeri to look at alternative options in the transfer market.
From Barca's perspective, there is a desire to balance the books at the club and thus the sale of at least one of their high earners is a priority.
Philippe Coutinho has been offered to clubs in the Premier League - given his lofty wages and the fact he'd still command a significant transfer fee - and the playmaker, who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich, is more likely to leave than Arthur.
