Arthur has reportedly informed FC Barcelona that he does not plan on training with or playing for the team anymore. He is said to be in Brazil right now without the club’s permission, in open rebellion against the team he is still under contract with.
The player had already agreed to join Juventus at the end of the season, in an exchange the Catalans made to land Miralem Pjaniu0107. But while the Bosnian celebrated his Serie A title with an assist in Juve’s last game, and seems set to help them in the UEFA Champions League, Arthur has unilaterally decided his time at his current team is up.
