Arthur says goodbye to Barca as he heads to Juventus

Arthur Melo has left any great memories at Barcelona even though he is a talented player who can control games. He arrived from Gremio in 2018 for 31 million euros plus nine in variables.

However the board let him go to Juventus for Pjanic and 12 million euros, even though the Bosnian is older than Arthur.

Arthur then kicked off and was not used again by the club, refusing to link up with the squad ahead of Lisbon. Pjanic, meanwhile, played out the season with Juve.

After that, he became more diplomatic and has released a message to say goodbye to Barca.

"Saying goodbye is always hard but harder still when you leave behind a place that is my home, an incredible city that will always be in my heart, where everyone welcomed me like another Catalan," said the Brazilian.

"They showed me a new culture and helped me grow as a player and above all, as a person. I say goodbye to an impressive group of players and feel very fortunate to have played by their side, but above all grateful for their support as friends, people with big hearts."

"And fans who won me over from the first day and fill me with pride to be a Cule and defend one of the most important badges in football, and they have shown me love and respect that I will never forget.

"Today I have to say goodbye but I'll take everything I've lived here forever in my heart. Thanks for everything, Barcelona!"
