I have followed the whole Arthur deal since the start of when we met with him back in Late November/December. And it's been excruciating to say the least.
The amount of rumors and stuff reminded me in the summer with the Dembele/Coutinho stuff. Just without the huge fees and the extreme use of OJO's by Gerard Romero. Felt like every week with Arthur there was the "We have an agreement with the player" "Barcelona staff are in Brazil trying to complete the deal" we finally got the buy option but we decided to bring in Arthur due to Alena's injury and Iniesta's departure and those July rumors went into full swing and now we are here close to signing him.
I'm just glad this is so close to finally being done.
