Arthur's plans for the future ahead of possible Barcelona move

Arthur still doesn't have a place guaranteed at the World Cup. He's been in the last two squads but has not made his debut. He watched Bolivia-Brazil (0-0) and Brazil-Chile (3-0 from the bench.

Nexr Wednesday, in the Recopa Sudamericana, Arthur has another test, with Brazil coach Tite confirming his presence at the game. He likes the 21-year-old and has to decide whether he wants him in Russia.

In that sense, Arthur feels Barcelona can help him. If he closes a deal to move to Camp Nou soon, he feels his visibility will rise and it will reaffirm his quality to Tite. 

Gremio are happy to sell as soon as possible but hope to keep him until December, the end of the Brazilian season. 

That was something Barça didn't want to do at first but now they're thinking about it. However, no decision has been taken in any respect yet. 

Negotiations are going well and the photo with Arthur and Barça's sporting director Robert Fernandez actually helped things speed up.
