According to the Italian newspaper Tuttosport, Massimiliano Allegri wants to prevent Arthur Melo get out of the Juventus of Turin in this winter transfer market due to Arsenal’s interest in getting his services in the short term.
Despite the fact that in recent weeks it seemed that his departure was getting closer to materializing on loan, the coach of the Vecchia Signora has stopped the operation because he feels that he can recover the talented Brazilian player and that he can offer him a leap in quality to a team that is fighting to enter qualifying positions in the UEFA Champions League, the main objective for this very complicated campaign.
Transfer canceled
The Turin club board is also not very interested in loaning Arthur to Arsenal because he would only leave for 6 months and would not leave a good amount of money in the club’s coffers. Arsenal proposed a transfer due to the footballer’s last few difficult months, who has barely had minutes since he left FC Barcelona.
A case similar to what happened with Álvaro Morata, who also seemed to be close to going to FC Barcelona in this winter market, and that Allegri himself convinced to stay in order to close the season. Juventus do not have enough talent in their squad to be able to let their main players out, beyond the fact that they intend to sign several players: Sardar Azmoun, Dennis Zakaria…
The Sergi Roberto plan for summer
Arsenal is close to ruling out the signing of Arthur and, as we announced in fichajes.net, they will try to move in these weeks to sign Sergi Roberto as a free agent in the summer. The midfielder’s contract ends in the summer of 2022 and the negotiation of his renewal is stalled.
