Arthur Melo’s renaissance at Grêmio could mark the definitive end of his story with Juventus. The Brazilian midfielder, who returned to his boyhood club on loan last summer, has impressed enough to convince the Brazilian side to push for a permanent deal.
IlBianconero report how after several loan spells across Europe, Arthur once again found himself back in Turin at the start of last summer, only to be sent out again — this time choosing to return home. The move has proved to be the right decision. In Brazil, the 29-year-old has rediscovered his rhythm, becoming a key figure for Grêmio with consistent performances and renewed confidence.
Grêmio Seek Permanent Move
Arthur joined Grêmio on loan during the final days of the summer transfer window, restarting his career for the fourth time in a few seasons. Unlike his previous moves, this one seems to have clicked. Both club and player are thriving, and for the first time, everyone involved appears aligned in their desire to make the move permanent.
Juventus, eager to reduce their wage bill, would welcome a definitive sale after years of temporary solutions. Arthur, too, reportedly hopes to end his time as a Juventus player, finally settling where he feels comfortable and valued.
Contract Situation
Though Arthur remains under contract with Juventus until 2027 — an extension initially designed to spread out his sizeable salary — it appears increasingly unlikely the relationship will continue that long. The parties are working to find financial terms that suit all sides, aiming to bring closure to what has been a complicated chapter in Arthur’s career.
