Arthur Melo

Interesting that he has his heart set on Barca move. Hes a good talent but they are more than well stocked in MF: Busquets, Paulinho, Rakitic, Coutinho, Iniesta, Andre Gomes, Carles Alena... can't see it happening anytime soon unless they are to offload at least 2 MF players, although they'd probably sell Rakitic or Gomes for right offer. I'd like to see us go after somebody in this mould, think Arthur is able to control games and is very mobile.

Also on Barca and their MF I think Messi is that good that he could eventually play as a more offensive minded MF player when hes 35, 36, 37 for them with ease because he is that good, wouldn't be surprised, I think he could play to hes 40 and still be an outstanding player - might seem far fetched in some peoples views but don't see why he couldn't because he is capable of amazing assists, key passes etc.

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.

Mundo Deportivo is not reliable imo. Too much propaganda of Barca board and politicians. I trust Sport.es much more.

Everybody who watch Arthur can see that he is not a normal South American signing, he is one of those special South American talents that we have from time to time. Barcelona is trying to seduce the player for months. In my opinion they are just avoiding him to sign with another club while they dont have non-european places.

We should sign him. Arthur-Kante would be just incredible to watch.

If we play 4-2-3-1 with Kante-Arthur as double-DM we would never lose the ball.

Barcelona will face competition to sign long-term target Arthur, according to sources in Spain and Brazil.

The LaLiga leaders are already in talks with Gremio to sign the midfielder, who was pictured wearing a Barcelona shirt last year.

The Nou Camp outfit are the only club who have produced an offer for the 21-year-old, but AS reports that Inter Milan, PSG and Monaco have shown interest in him. Meanwhile, according to UOL, Real Madrid and Chelsea are keen on him too.

Barca are willing to offer €30m for Arthur, while Gremio are looking for a fee closer to €50m.

Looks a tremendous player to me. My big fear is that City will get him. He's perfect for them so I'd gladly settle for him going to Barca instead.

Already agreed to move to Barca. Only for like 35M too. They always seem to pull great deals out of the bag.

Because it's Barca. I wonder how good it must feel supporting that club whilst Messi has played there. Could you imagine their forum TalkBarca. They would have literally nothing to moan about, unlike us.

Might moan Messi doesn't score enough goals!
