Premier League heavyweights Arsenal are still in talks to sign Brazilian midfielder Arthur from Italian football giants Juventus. This is according to the report from popular news portal Goal which stated that the Gunners have not been able to reach an agreement for the player who has already started looking for a house in London. It was revealed that Federico Pastorello met with directors at the Arsenal headquarters in London on Wednesday to discuss the possible transfer of his client. Pastorello is the agent of Brazil international Arthur.
The specific report from Sky Sports Italia said that negotiations between Arsenal and Juventus are not moving forward since the Gunners are not prepared to offer more than a loan deal until the end of the current season. Juventus are holding out for more before letting the ex-Barcelona star leaves the club for London. Italian football giants Juventus want an option to buy as part of the Arthur deal or for the Gunners to make it an 18-month loan deal. Also, they won’t let Arthur leave for Arsenal if they don’t have a suitable replacement for him.
Juventus could look inward rather than outside in their quest to replace Arsenal target Arthur in their squad. Genoa midfielder NicoloRovella is an option as he could be recalled from his season-long loan spell at fellow Italian team Genoa. Rovella has just returned to full fitness after a thigh problem.

Several Italian media outlets have reported that Arsenal are not willing to offer anything more than a loan deal for the Juventus midfielder. It is clear that Italian football club Juventus are holding out for more than a dry loan from the Gunners for Arthur. The Brazilian midfielder is keen on leaving Italian football for Arsenal as he has a better chance of getting minutes in comparison to his time at Juventus.
