Arthur wants Barca comeback, ready to accept pay cut (reliability: 3 stars)

Arthur is willing to leave Juventus, reports Diario Sport.

The Brazilian is said to be a big admirer of Xavi. He would even be ready to accept a pay cut to re-join Barcelona. A loan deal could be an option.

When the midfielder played for Blaugrana, Xavi publicly expressed his appreciation for the 25-year-old: "He is a player who, as we often say, has the Barca DNA. He has all the qualities to succeed, and if Barca gives him game time, I think he could mark an era at the club."

Arthur picked up 11 injuries in 2 years at Barcelona. He also reportedly had discipline problems in his 2-year spell with Juventus.

The player made 31 appearances for the Serie A side this season, registering one assist.
