Tuttosport claim Arthur Melo could still change his mind about joining Juventus in a straight swap with Miralem Pjanic going to Barcelona.
It has been suggested by multiple sources over the last few weeks that the deal was practically done until Arthur refused to leave Camp Nou.
The Bianconeri and Blaugrana have both been working behind the scenes to convince him and, according to Tuttosport, it might be making an impact at last.

It has been made clear to the Brazilian that he will not get much playing time, so may as well accept the transfer to Turin.
Similarly, Pjanic has interest from Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester United, but has his heart set on Barcelona.
Arthur turns 24 in July and was purchased from Gremio in the summer of 2018 for €31m.
So far this season, he has made 23 competitive appearances for the club, contributing four goals and four assists.
