Barcelona midfielder Arthur warms to Pjanic swap

Barcelona midfielder Arthur Melo is rethinking the prospect of joining Juventus.

Juve are pushing to swap Miralem Pjanic for Arthur, though the Brazilian has been reluctant to take part in the move.

However, Sky Italia says Arthur is now beginning to soften his stance on Juventus.

That is in part helped by a huge salary increase of €5m per year to come to Turin.

There remains some haggling to do, with Barca rating Arthur at €80m and Pjanic at €70m.

Both teams want to reach an agreement before June 30.
