Highly rated Gremio midfielder Arthur denied reports that he has agreed a deal with Barcelona after he was photographed meeting with representatives of the Catalan club.
The 21-year-old Brazilian has established himself as a key player at the Porto Alegre club, securing a place in their midfield this year and making 38 domestic appearances.
On top of that, he has helped Gremio to the 2017 Copa Libertadores title, playing in both legs as they beat Lanus of Argentina 3-1 on aggregate at the end of November.
He was then pictured a few days later wearing a Barcelona jersey next to sporting director Robert Fernandez, a move which reportedly angered Gremio.
