According to recent reports, Juventus has reached a verbal agreement with Brazilian club Gremio to send midfielder Arthur Melo on loan for the upcoming season. This move will mark Arthur`s fourth consecutive loan spell away from the Italian giants.
Homecoming for Arthur
The 29-year-old Brazilian midfielder is set to return to his boyhood club, Gremio, where he spent five years in the youth academy and three years with the senior team before his move to Europe in 2018. This loan deal represents a significant homecoming for Arthur after spending seven years playing in Europe.
Recent Loan Spells
Arthur`s recent loan experiences have been mixed. He had a disappointing spell with Liverpool in the 2022-23 season, playing only 13 minutes. However, he enjoyed more success with Fiorentina in 2023-24 and spent the latter half of the 2025-26 season with Girona in LaLiga.
Juventus` Brazilian Exodus
Arthur`s impending departure follows closely on the heels of another Brazilian midfielder, Douglas Luiz, who is expected to join Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. These moves signify a shift in Juventus` midfield composition for the upcoming season.
The loan deal for Arthur is expected to be formalized on Friday, marking another chapter in the player`s career as he seeks to regain form and regular playing time with his former club.
