Juventus are seriously interested in picking up Nicolo Zaniolo this summer and midfielder Arthur could prove key in the talks with Roma.
The 22-year-old Italian forward’s current contract expires with the Giallorossi in 2024 and so far no renewal has been agreed, with a difference in opinion existing over his possible new salary. Both Juventus and Milan are keen to pick him up this summer and both would need to include a player in the deal to lower €60m fee requested by Roma.
As detailed by Tuttosport, Jose Mourinho is a big fan of Arthur and Roma have started considering picking up the player to join new signing Nemanja Matic in the midfield. Juventus are now considering sending in an offer of the Brazilian midfielder plus cash for Zaniolo, although there is already an obstacle.
The 25-year-old’s salary is too high for the Giallorossi and talks are currently ongoing to see if a compromise can be found.
La Juventus ci prova per Zaniolo: offerto Arthur che può piacere a Mourinho

As long as Allegri on the helm, we are definitely on the right track 🙂
Forza JUVE … Forza Mister Allegri!!
This has to be fake news. Mourinho a fan of Arthur? I nearly choked on my cappuccino reading that. Lol.
Anybody at Roma who would consider exchanging Zaniolo for Arthur would be promptly lynched in Rome. This has to be one of the dumbest rumors ever. The Juve fan base needs this kind of nonsense?
No Sailor, it’s the usual paper talk. Tutto Sport are good with jokes, Gazzetta even better, and then Calciomercato would rival even JK Rowling. All the while, FI posts it all without filtering.
He will suit Juve perfectly as they like taking injured players, and in return Nicolo will enjoy the Flimsey type salary. If it is football he is after, no better coach to learn from. PhD Max will show the world next season, that the back, back, down, down will return bigger, better and slower than ever.
This is a brilliant decoy by Mourinho to distract Juventus in the Transfermarket. This deal would never happen. Juventus will never sell Arthur because no one wants him.
Exactly. He should go to Inter where he can support the dream attack of Dybala – Laurato – Lukaku…where the injured Walmart Messi will give Inter Medical something to do and the Inter fans can keep dreaming.
This have to be a troll article. OK, Mou likes Matic who is deadwood but he arrived for free. No way they will sacrifice one of his best players for that zombie called Arthur. In fact, Juventus should pay more for Zaniolo if Roma takes Arthur lol
@Putuco
Zaniolo is not going to extend his contract with Rome and everyone knows it, they’d rather earn some money off of him before letting him walk away for free.
