According to Tuttosport, the Italian side hope to change the Brazilian's mind

The Arthur Melo saga looks set to be a long one. When it seemed that his decision to stay at Barcelona was firm, in Italy they insist it's not yet over. 

'Tuttosport' report that Juventus will not throw in the towel and are confident they can change his mind. The Serie A champions believe they can convince the midfielder and they have Barça's backing. 

According to the reports, Barça still want to do a swap deal involving the Brazilian, with the Juve midfielder Miralem Pjanic the player they want to exchange for. 

How much Arthur plays when LaLiga resumes in June could also influence what happens. He is likely to play regularly under Quique Setien, but injuries and rotations could reduce his role. 

Arthur has spoken of his desire to remain put at Camp Nou and is excited for the return of LaLiga, which restarts on June 11 with the Seville derby.
