On Monday, "Barcelona" officially confirmed the long-standing rumors. Representatives of "La Liga" announced that they sold midfielder Arthur to Turin's "Juventus" team for 72 million euros. The deal also includes an additional 10 million euros that could be transferred to Barcelona depending on the player's achievements in Italy. 23-year-old Arthur joined "Barca" in 2018 from the "Gremio" club. In 72 matches, he scored 4 goals and won two titles last year - the Spanish Super Cup and the "La Liga" championship. Less than an hour later, "Barcelona" confirmed that they acquired midfielder Miralem Pjanic from Turin's "Juventus" for 60 million euros. Thus, an indirect exchange of players took place between the two clubs. Pjanic himself will sign a four-year contract with "Barcelona" and his release clause will be as high as 400 million euros. The Bosnian has represented "Juventus" since 2016.
