Reports in Spain suggest Valencia are on the verge of giving up the negotiations with Juventus for Arthur Melo, turning instead to Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks.
Gennaro Gattuso confirmed the situation was very difficult when speaking after the 2-1 friendly win over Atalanta last week, affirming Arthur’s salary was simply “prohibitive” for Valencia to handle, even with help from Juve.
Now Diario AS and Relevo both warn the entire idea of bringing Arthur to Valencia on loan is on the verge of collapse.
Instead, Valencia could ask Tottenham Hotspur for Winks on loan, who would be considerably more affordable.
He had also been linked with Sampdoria on loan, but rejected the proposal when learning he wouldn’t be guaranteed a starting spot.
His salary is roughly €4m per season, whereas Juventus inherited the contract worth over €7m per season when signing Arthur from Barcelona.
The Brazilian now has seemingly no real options, as Arsenal turned interest elsewhere after failing to agree a January deal.
why would anyone take Arthur?
He`s just a tool to laundry money from over-inflated Pjanic transfer.
We should use him, its not so bad and allegri should find him role, he cant be so bad
another waste of space
Someone should take him, not worthy to keep in team player if you not see how to find him even 20 minutes in game, we should give him chances wnd in 2inter someone will pay 40 millions
Just enroll him into SpaceX program and send him to Mars.
Wow the money Juve pay for failed players like Arthur is astounding. Juve really are a mess.
At least Rabiot is leaving which ia good news. As for Arthur if no interest we can leave him and use as back up for Paredes as regista
Still have a few weeks to find another club..
How about 50m euros plus arthur to roma for zaniola – dont care if we over spend on zaniola
About rabiot is still doubt also, heared he is asking enormous money and talk about champions league, doing everything to stay in our team
