Juventus continues to grapple with the challenge of Arthur Melo`s presence on their roster. The latest glimmer of hope for the Italian club to resolve this situation comes from Turkish side Besiktas, following some interest from Spanish teams.
The Brazilian midfielder joined Juventus from Barcelona in 2020 as part of a player exchange deal involving Miralem Pjanic. However, Arthur failed to make a significant impact during his time in Turin, managing only one goal and one assist in 63 appearances across all competitions.
Subsequently, Juventus opted to loan Arthur out to various clubs, including Liverpool, Fiorentina, and Girona. Despite these temporary moves, no team has shown willingness to secure his services on a permanent basis.
Juventus Seeks Resolution for Arthur`s Contract
Arthur`s substantial wages continue to be a burden for Juventus, with his contract set to run until June 2027. The club is eager to find a permanent solution and remove the player from their books once and for all.
According to reports from Sportitalia journalist Gianluigi Longari, Besiktas has expressed initial interest in Arthur. The Turkish club has made preliminary inquiries to assess the situation, similar to approaches made by several Spanish clubs. It remains to be seen how this potential move will develop.
Arthur, who will turn 29 next month, spent the previous season on loan at Girona in LaLiga, where he made 15 appearances. As Juventus continues to explore options for the midfielder`s future, the interest from Besiktas presents a new possibility for both the player and the club to consider.
