Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo has three clubs potentially interested in him ahead of the January transfer window, according to recent updates on Saturday afternoon. 

The 28-year-old is still on Juve’s books. He was included in both the Champions League and Serie A squad lists at the beginning of the campaign, but is yet to register a minute of competitive action so far under Thiago Motta. 

Though the Bianconeri looked to move Arthur on during the summer transfer window, a move never materialised, and now he remains in Turin on a €4.5m annual salary, not including significant bonuses. His deal with Juventus is still valid until the summer of 2026. 

Three clubs interested in Juventus’s Arthur Melo

According to reports from Calciomercato.com, however, there are a few clubs interested in making move for the former Barcelona midfielder. 

The most keen is Roberto De Zerbi’s Marseille, where he would join another former Juventus midfielder in Adrien Rabiot. De Zerbi reportedly had conversations with Arthur about a possible move in the summer. 

A return to Fiorentina, where he spent the 2023-24 season on loan, is also still on the cards, while Premier League outfit Everton have also been mentioned in Saturday’s reports.
