Juventus are earmarking a few midfielders for the January window, but they might not have to look far for reinforcements, as they have some players out on loan that could help them, for instance Arthur, who’s faring well at Fiorentina.
According to Spanish publication Sport (via Calciomercato), the Bianconeri are considering bringing him back in light of their suspensions. However, they’d need the green light from the Viola. It’ll be complicated since he has quickly become a reference point and one of their best performers, TuttoSport relays.
Arthur extended his contract with Juventus to facilitate the move and reduce his yearly financial impact last summer. He’s now tied down until 2026. He voiced his appreciation for how his spell is going while also showing respect to the Bianconeri in a recent interview.
The Viola spent €2M to onboard him last summer and have a €20M option to buy. They’d have to pay a €2M penalty if he didn’t play enough. He has been able to avoid injuries and has appeared in 13 matches already, assisting once.
Our Take on Juventus, Arthur, and Fiorentina
While they get linked to a new name every day, it’s more likely they’ll do something like this since they don’t have much to spend. The Brazilian has been steady, but getting hardliner Viola owner Rocco Commisso to renege on an agreement is improbable.
