[VIDEO] Juventus agrees deal with Barcelona to sign Arthur

Juventus have agreed €80m fee to sign Barcelona midfielder Arthur, in exchange with Miralem Pjanic.

According to Sky Sports, Juventus have also offered the 23-year-old an increase in salary, compared to his deal with Barcelona.

Maurizio Sarri probably wants to build a younger Juventus midfield starting with Arthur, just like Jorginho at Napoli and Chelsea.

Meanwhile, both Juve and Barcelona are still in talks over Miralem Pjanic, as they are yet to agree on the transfer fee.

Sky suggest that Juve value Pjanic at €70m but Barca think he is only €10m less than Arthur.

At the moment, the likes of Sami Khedira, Blaise Matuidi and Aaron Ramsey already past their prime and Juve only have two young central midfielder; Adrien Rabiot and Rodrigo Bentancur.
