Did he sign for Barca already? We have no chance to get him anyways.

No. Barcelona do that with many players. They did the same with Gotetzka apparently.

If you read the catalan papers you realize that what they are doing here is to seduce the player to prevent him do sign with another club in january.

Arthur in a Barcelona top ffs 

Gremio has already announced they will put barca on fifa court for talking to Arthur without approval (something like that)...

Gremio representatives stated they will not sell to barca after such disrespect...arthur has clause of 80m though.

we will likely open talks with him and his agent in january - by then even his dog will be wearing Barcelona's jersey.

This is something i never could understand about Chelsea scouting in Brazil.

Example: Kennedy played few games in the professional and was not impressive. Nobody was talking about him.

Why to sign him?

Richarlison was playing well in the brazilian league and south american cup.

Is not some world beater but would be useful for sure.

Another situation: Guilherme Arana(20) is one of the best young LBs in Brazil in the last decade, better than Sandro or Filipe Luis(when they were 20 years old).

Why we not tried to sign him? I think Sevilla payed $14 millions for the player.

Do you really know that we have not tried to sign Arana?

I do agree with you though about the scouting of Kennedy. It was obvious even from his YouTube highlight videos that he wasn’t good enough.

If he is as good as they say we should sign him. They are saying he will be in the Brazil World Cup squad for sure at the rate he’s going so we should to try get a deal done for the summer in January if possible, probably be our best bet. No coincidence Barca are after him either.

I would bench anybody in Brazil midfield, including Coutinho to play him.

One of the most important things for a team in the modern football is players like Kante and Arthur that can pass the lines fast without losing the ball in dangerous areas.

You see teams like Barca, Madrid, City, PSG, Bayern, they all have many of those players.

We could play 4-3-3 with Kante-DM-Arthur.

As if we are 'keeping an eye' on any player who is remotely promising with his feet. 😂

Sorry but all a load of bollox!!

Far too much common sense I'm afraid.Theres a clause in the Blues AGM written in invisible ink declaring not to sign creative players.

He will probably go to the Premiere League for two reasons:

1 - Barcelona signed Coutinho, and since Umititi is injured they had to sign Mina. So they dont have non-europeans places in the moment.

2 - Barcelona's representatives get Arthur posing in a Barca shirt and Gremio president is pissed. Now he will only sell to the catalans for the release clause £44 mi and i dont think they will expend so much in South America. Only if it was a striker.

I'd be really pissed if it were United though... that's a player they already have (Pogba) and one we are in dire need of.

We need to pay up for promising youngster too, because we want to be the "end club." Next sale percentages mean nothing if the players are never resold. 

From Gremio's perspective, if they cannot get the full release clause, it might be better to sell him to a smaller/mid (e.g. Atletico, Spurs) club with a 20-30% in a future sale.

Its not me weneed to convince tho.I'd buy him in a heartbeat and give them Baks as a bung.

Chelsea have tried to sign Gremio midfielder Arthur this month but the player has his heart set on a move to Barcelona, according to Mundo Deportivo.
