Fabio Paratici updated Juventus' pursuit of Barcelona midfielder Arthur, which could see Miralem Pjanic move in the opposite direction.
Juventus director Fabio Paratici said Arthur has to be "convinced" about swapping Barcelona for Turin after confirming negotiations with the LaLiga champions.
Arthur has been at the centre of a possible swap deal involving Juve midfielder Miralem Pjanic, though the Barca star is reportedly unwilling to leave Camp Nou.
Paratici provided an update on the situation prior to Juve's 2-0 victory over Bologna in Serie A on Monday.
"We have spoken frequently with Barcelona, but at this moment all the teams are playing important games, so we preferred to bypass this period," Paratici told Sky Sport Italia.
"It's not about June 30, before or after, but about finding an agreement between the various parties, and both players have to be convinced. Therefore, it's not an issue about dates."
Arthur joined Spanish giants Barca from boyhood Brazilian club Gremio in 2018.
The 23-year-old, who impressed in his maiden campaign, has made 26 appearances and scored four goals in all competitions this season.
Juve's Pjanic – in Turin since leaving rivals Roma in 2016 – has featured in 35 matches in 2019-20.

I would sell Modric, but Rakitic can still play on top level for another 2 years if he is in good form and he has a lot of experience in big games, against big players, he played great in the World Cup and he done it with Barca many times. It’s always good to keep the young talents, but they get scared in big games and sometimes they can’t play their best game because of the pressure.
its not much a problem selling Arthur and keeping Rakitic. the problem is replacing a young talent with an old man which which we already have enough of in Rakitic, Bousquet and Vidal. who in his right senses will do that?

modric is a top 3 midfielder in the world. if you have a chance to sell a midfielder in madrid squad will you sell Fede Valverde and keep Modric??

This will be e bad deal for you, Rakitic is a top midfielder, maybe one of the best in Europe, even if he is not playing great at the moment.

I don't really care if Barcelona lose Arthur because his been pretty average since we bought him but my only worry is that we are getting pjanic instead of 40-50m which makes the transfer ridiculous

What the hell are they talking about!!!!!? Are Barca board blind people!!!!??..... or just shallow minded members!!!!??????????? . How could be possible letting out such this amazing and fantastic player whose age is under 23 years!!? let along to be swapped aged one, who have already spent all his valuable time in somewhere else; but It is even impossible to swap shining midfielders like Velvarde, B. Silver , Fabinho, Gorginho, grealish, Rabiot, Saul, ....and many other midfield players. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Swapping pjanic to A. mello!!!!!!!!!!!... Impossible... Impossible...Impossible.

barca should try Rakitic for Pjanic swap to see if juve will agree. even if they will accept the swap it should be Pjanic plus cash for Arthur. swap without cash is very stupid with talent and age on Arthur's side
This will be e bad deal for you, Rakitic is a top midfielder, maybe one of the best in Europe, even if he is not playing great at the moment.

it seems the sporting directors at Barca are not football fans, and uneducated 🙄🙄🙄 what they h**l is wrong with Barcelona 🥺🥺 Swapping Arthur with Pjanic is like, Exchanging a Hundred dollar note with a Thousand Naira note🤔🤔🤔 If only this my comment will get to the board of directors at Barca, they should stop and think like football game lovers and stop the swap deal😕😕😕
