Journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that Santos is about to sign a former Barcelona star as part of supporting the team during the current Mercato.
The Brazilian club had signed Neymar after the Brazilian star terminated his contract with Al Hilal in the past days, and now he is going to conclude a new major deal.
The Brazilian club officials have completed their agreement with former Barcelona star Arthur Melo to join the team on loan until the end of the season.
The negotiations between Santos and Juventus regarding Arthur are in advanced stages, and the player also welcomed the step of returning to Brazil after a journey that was not the most successful in European stadiums.
Arthur, 28, began his career in Gremio, then moved to Barcelona, and there was great optimism that he would become the most important pillar of the Catalan club’s midfield.
But a combination of bad luck and injuries ended Arthur’s career at Barça early, and he then moved to Juventus, from where he was loaned to Liverpool and Fiorentina, before returning to the Bianconeri at the beginning of this season.
