Might leave Juventus in January, PL being a likely destination.

Though, if he can't cut it at Juventus, i doubt he is going to dominate PL.

Was always a bad fit for a team coached By Allegri who does not like that skillset.

Sarri wanted him at Juve and pushed for getting him, and the moment that embarrassing trade happened, Sarri left.

I reckon he would be a good fit for Lazio, even for Roma or AC Milan or Napoli. Pace of the game at Italy is no problem for him.

EPL I don't know, maybe the pace is too much there for Arthur

This guy's going to dominate England. They won't know what hit them.

Stoke should secure top 6 for sure with him.

Did Sarri really wanted him? doubt it tbh. He liked Pjanic actually and wasn't the one pushing for such trade.
It was a chance for them to get rid of Pjanic and cook the books, both clubs wanted it and they have been negotiating several other players before settling for those 2.
Was always more about finance than coaches wishes, same for Barca.

Now he has been talked about player swap with Bayern, although their fans are laughing at the idea.

No Sarri wanted him strongly
Many journalists were confirming that at the time.
He wanted either him or Frenkie, and Barca was willing to part with Arthur only

Of course it suited our fucked up finances, and it's a fact that there was onyl financial motivation from our side

Not gonna lie, I was slightly worried we would be the clear losers in a Pjanic/Arthur swap. At least there's some peace of mind.

We were...
Pjanic had been terrible, and a bad fit for Barca.
Arthur suits better our style of play, despite his flaws.

It was also a disaster from a financial pov.
How on earth could someone price old Pjanic close to 60m?
Of course Arthur's value was also highly inflated, but the value difference was not in our favor

It was a massively shit deal for both parties, but at least not only for us. Juve pays Arthur 8ME net ffs :lol:

Ideally we should have just kept him on his low wages.
