Arsenal He could reportedly sign Juventus star Arthur Melo this summer, according to the Italian outlet. Juve.
It is an open secret that the Gunners are interested in strengthening their engine room for next season. A host of midfielders have been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium in recent weeks, including Bruno Guimaraes, Martin Zubimendi and Amadou Onana.
However, the Gunners could be given the opportunity to seal a surprise deal to add reinforcements to their midfield department. According to the report of JuveJuventus are interested in Jakub Kiwior but cannot afford to match the Gunners' asking price to lure him to the Allianz Stadium this summer.
So the report says that the Bianconeri could offer Arthur, valued at around £17million, in a part-exchange deal to sign the Poland international. Juve also states that Mikel Arteta He likes the Juventus star “a lot” so the Gunners could decide to go ahead with this deal.
Arturo to Arsenal
The South American was highly valued during his time in Barcelona But after signing for Juventus, his career graph has gone downhill. Fitness issues have been one of the biggest issues behind this and he was recently on loan at Fiorentina, but they ultimately decided not to secure his signature permanently.
Liverpool They signed him on loan in 2022 to add depth to their midfield, but he only managed to make one appearance for them due to his injury problems before returning to Juventus.
It appears the Italian giants are desperate to sell the underperforming star to remove him from their wage bill and Arsenal are highly unlikely to consider an offer to sell Kiwior if the Old Lady of Turin attempts to include Arthur in a swap deal. .
Perhaps, Arteta previously admired Arthur when he was at the top of his game, but considering his recent performances, it would be a big surprise if the Spanish manager recommended to the Gunners hierarchy to sign the former Barcelona player this summer.
However, it will be interesting to see who Arsenal ultimately opt to sign to strengthen their engine room in this transfer window.
