La Liga
Juventus already has clarity on who will be the first departure in the January transfer market: Arthur Melo. The Brazilian midfielder, who shone in his last season at Fiorentina, has not found a place in the revamped Juventus under Thiago Motta's leadership, and all signs point to his imminent exit from the club.
Arthur, on loan at Fiorentina last season, regained his best form and became a key player under Vincenzo Italiano's guidance. The coach gave him full freedom to lead the midfield, and the former Barcelona player responded with high-quality performances, excelling in game control and team pace. However, this season, his return to Turin has not met expectations.
Arthur does not fit in tactically or economically
Juventus, deeply involved in restructuring, does not include Arthur in their current plans, leaving him without minutes and no opportunity to showcase his talent in this new phase. Although he could be an interesting profile for Motta's associative style, it seems that his situation will not change. Additionally, it's worth noting that the Brazilian has a very high salary, making it favorable for them to part ways.
With the winter transfer market around the corner, interest in Arthur is on the rise. As reported by 'Sport', teams like Olympique de Marseille, Everton, and even his former team Gremio have shown interest in his services. Juventus, on the other hand, aims to profit from his sale, and Arthur is shaping up to be the club's first departure in January.
