Barcelona have opened legal proceedings against Arthur and will not terminate the midfielder's contract.
As reported by Marca, Barcelona will not comply with Arthur's request to join Juventus before this season is over.
Barcelona are still involved in the Champions League - they face Napoli on August 8 in the second leg of their last-16 tie - but Arthur has not returned to the club's training ground as planned.
Arthur already has an agreement in place to join Juventus and doesn't intend to play for Barcelona again. He wanted his contract cancelled but Barcelona refused to comply.
The 23-year-old still hadn't returned to Barcelona on Monday, with the club seeing his actions as a breach of contract.
Barcelona have refused to give Arthur permission to stay in his native Brazil, where he travelled having initially gone to Ibiza after the LaLiga season concluded.
Arthur joined Barcelona two years ago and has made 72 appearances for the club.
He won the LaLiga title in 2018-19 and has also won the Supercopa de Espana.
Sportsmail have contacted Barcelona and Arthur for comment.

BarCa should hire City's lawyers, heard that they provide best services even the fault is clearly from your own side. 😎

If you didn't give him a chance in the last match of the league... potentially which was not a necessary match for barca...then how can he get a chance in UCL which is more important???....

Barca board should be ashamed for filling a legal case against Arthur,They mistreated him and forced him to make a decision he didn't want because his heart was at Barcelona and he loved the club.... Bartomeu is having a pandemic madness in his brain

For the first time I am happy that some player has shown the aggressive side towards the club. every time I think club is bigger than a player. but when club dump players feeling for there sake it is also not acceptable. proud of Arthur who took a stand for him
