Arthur agrees to Juventus move which opens door for Pjanic to Barcelona

The Brazil international midfielder has had a change of heart and is ready to sign for the Turin side
Arthur has agreed to join Juventus from Barcelona, setting up a deal that will see Miralem Pjanic move in the opposite direction, Goal can confirm.

The two deals are disconnected, so this is not officially a swap deal, with Arthur set to switch to Juve for €70 million (£63m/$79m) and Pjanic poised to move in the other direction for €60m (£55m/$67m).

It represents a significant and rapid U-turn on the player’s part, as it was previously indicated that he wished to stay at Camp Nou, despite being flattered by the interest of Juve.
