Another day, another episode in the Arthur Melo to Juventus transfer saga.
Despite the midfielder's unequivocal commitment to Barcelona and the Catalans' own determination to keep the 23-year-old, Juventus are refusing to give up on the idea of signing Arthur, Catalan media outlet RAC 1 report.
As per the source, the Bianconeri are offering the Brazilian three times as much as he currently earns at Barcelona in a bid to convince him to switch sides.
They see him as a vital figure for Maurizio Sarri's project at the Allianz Stadium. Barca are also said to still be interested in doing a deal involving the Brazilian as they reportedly want to recruit Miralem Pjanic. And they are not getting him without parting ways with Arthur.
Check out the best of Arthur at Barca:
This season, Arthur has contributed with four goals and four assists across 23 matches for Blaugrana. Unfortunately, he has missed a big part of the games because of a chronic injury. However, he is now fit and is training with the rest of the group.
It remains to be seen how things will pan out. Arthur is obviously fully committed to Barcelona. However, such a huge salary boost can be really seductive. Let's hope it won't be enough to change the Brazilian's mind.
Should Barca give Arthur a pay rise to convince him to stay? Tell us in the comments or use our blogging platform!
