A new chapter of the Arthur - Pjanic trade has begun. The Barcelona midfielder is said to be annoyed with the club and coach Quique Setien, and considering not playing for Barcelona again. The idea is that he signs a contract with Juventus in Turin now, with Pjanic coming the other way, but both players see out the season with their respective clubs.

The player, per Calciomercato, has almost totally discarded the idea of wearing Blaugrana again, above all in the Champions League in August.

 

"He's not the first player who signed with expectations that didn't bear fruit," said Setien on Arthur. Words that may have tipped the balance. If Arthur doesn't play again it will be tough for Barcelona, who have a lot of games in a short period and could use him in midfield.
