Gremio v Lanus - Copa Bridgestone Libertadores 2017 Final
Arthur has been the star of Serie A this season

This transfer is all but confirmed; according to OneFootball, Gremio is very close to reaching a deal with Barcelona, somewhere in excess of £40 million for Arthur, the midfielder who has garnered comparisons to Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta, for his vision and passing skills which shows semblance to the Barca captain as a young player.

The player was named "Serie A's Newcomer of the Year", and was the key factor behind the Imortal Tricolor's Copa Libertadores win in 2017. Even better, Arthur is still only 21 years of age, meaning that his best years are ahead of him, and a deal in the summer could guarantee at least 10 more years at the highest level. This would be an amazing buy for Barcelona, who want to look into the future in order to replace their aging squad.
