There is some of that, but there were advanced discussions for Neymar last season. That deal didn't happen because Barca wasn't going to pay PSG's demand. That wasn't smoke. Perhaps this summer will not be the same in the quite open links between player and club. Setting that aside, so long as we upgraded at midfield I couldn't give a flying ******** if that diving twat went back to that bitch side.
Arthur is expected in Turin tonight. He can't play for the team until this season is over though which is a shame
#Juve: #Arthur è atterrato a Torino, domani mattina le visite mediche // Arthur has landed in Turin ahead of his medical with Juve @Goalitalia @Goal 🇧🇷⚪️⚫️ pic.twitter.com/iFxDoMKYB0— Romeo Agresti (@romeoagresti) June 27, 2020 Arthur landed in Turin, medical tomorrow
Both medicals will take place in Turin due to the restrictions in flights from Italy because of covid supposedly. Its reported it was easier for Pjanic to just stay in Turin and have the medical, but there are conflicting reports on that. Some say Pjanic will indeed fly out to Barcelona at some point. We'll have to wait and see
It is left to be seen what the cash component will be, but as much as I love Pjanic we need to start getting some younger players in. Not Arthur's biggest fan, but as said before 24 year old for a 30 year old with maybe €10-€15MM, isn't bad, hopefully the hype around Arthur comes through. Bentancur and Arthur in midfield now, if only we had taken Barella or steal a Pellegrini, could be set for 5+ years with resale ability. Would have liked us to have kept Can and sold Rabiot/Ramsey instead.
Both Pjanic and Arthur did indeed have their medicals in Turin with Barca docs overseeing the Pjanic medical. Arthur is now refusing to go back and finish the season with Barca as hes pissed at them since he wanted to stay there
Word is that Arthur’s gf was instrumental in the move. She became good friends with De Jong’s gf, who introduced her to De Ligt’s gf who had a lot of nice things to say about life in Turin and Juve as a club.
Either way Arthur going to Juve is a good thing because their midfield is pretty stacked but also he gets to play with Ronaldo so how better can that be
Arthur has signed the contract, official announcement soon. He will be going back to Barcelona, but I highly doubt he plays again this season after his reaction
Kulusevski will be staying at Parma another year. Genoa and Juve are negotiating for Perin and Romero Juve also discussing what to do with Pellegrini with Cagliari
I believe Kulusevski, Perin and Pellegrini's contracts are being extended to the end of the season, since technically they expire on June 30th and the season extends beyond that.
Buffon and Chiellini have extended to June 2021. I have a feeling next season will be the last for both
Gonna be super weird the next few months, like do you play Pjanic even though he's signed for Barca? What if he gets a major injury, what happens to the transfer then? I wouldn't risk playing him, but you can't have him rot on the bench for 3 months either.
Arthur's reaction when asked to warm up.....[FCBW media] https://t.co/eaBYOSuwN7— JuveFC (@juvefcdotcom) June 29, 2020
What did they expect, they pushed him out of the club. Doubt he plays again for Barca unless absolutely necessary
Maybe it was to actually pull on the jersey he has spent however long trying to do at least one time in Serie A? idk it was kind of weird.
2 more kids out the door. Really trying to raise cash before the end of the day tomorrow. https://www.football-italia.net/155194/juventus-sell-youth-pair
